Re: Aftermarket Digital Rip Fence?
Dave,?
The other slider is part of a 5 machine order and as far as I’m told, he’s in no position to pay for it in the next 60 days so the Rep is offering it to me since I’m paid in full for my machine at this point ($15,350). I’m not too keen on paying another $1000 for an extra feature I don’t want or need. But I’m trying to work it out with him and see if they can do something about that.?

Re: Aftermarket Digital Rip Fence?
I'm curious about the saw that's in the warehouse.? If it is another customer's saw, why are they willing to sell it to you?? If the saw in the warehouse is your build but with the added digital?bits and you won't have to wait...why not?? No guarantee that your current three month won't turn into a six or nine month wait.
But if this isn't your forever saw why don't you get that saw now and skip the compromises?

Re: Aftermarket Digital Rip Fence?
Dan, I am just a hobbyist woodworker, but I recently upgraded to my “forever” saw from a K500P to the Kappa 400 with all dro. I totally love the Auto rip fence and digital crosscut stops. Since you have to wait, if it was me I would be asking to change my order to include the auto rip fence and dro stops. Don’t know if that is within your budget but now would be the time to do it.?

Re: Aftermarket Digital Rip Fence?
I think there will be near 100% consensus on this forum on what Jay B said, DRO on xcut before rip. I said near 100% because I never know what Cliff R would come up with ?
