Re: Aftermarket Digital Rip Fence?

 

开云体育

Thanks for all the input on my questions. I’m new to sliders so everyone else’s experience is invaluable to make my purchase decisions.?

Regarding adding digital flip stops to the crosscut fence and auto rip to the build on my saw, my rep said it’s too late in the process to make any changes. He did offer to potentially send me another customer’s saw currently in the Delaware warehouse with almost identical build specs but including the precision miter index option. The one condition is that he is willing to accept my machine in April and I accept his machine now with the added miter index part.?
Im on the fence about accepting the other machine with the added feature or wait another 3 months. What would you guys do in my situation??

My saw is a 7.5hp 3ph, 126” slide, 1500 outrigger, with overhead saw guard option. Since this is probably not my forever slider, I went with all manual controls to begin with. My thought process was that I will eventually be adding a Fiama DRO to the rip fence and one of Brian’s crosscut flip stop DRO.?

A Parallel fence is another solution….

Mine were in the slider crate

Now I remember, on my k700 the xcut fence was bolted to the pallet under the saw and the rip in with the slider.

On the k940 the xcut was bolted to where the slider mounts on the saw and the rip was with the slider

On my KF700S I got delivered in July the crosscut fence was mounted with bolts to the top of the cast iron table. I had purchased the rip DRO and it was in a separate box.

?Thanks for all of the replies.? Felder has already filed a claim and plans to send a new sliding table to replace the damaged one.? On another note, where should I find the crosscut and rip fences in the packaging?? I don't see them on the machine pallet and haven't opened the damaged slider box yet.??

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.?

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 ?

I only use the rip fence for repetitive or narrow cuts thus far.?

If by “Auto rip fence” you mean a motorized positioning fence with DRO?? Zero chance for less than $5k. ?Felder builds machine configurations to order and the motorized rip fence is not a field-upgradable option that is economical.?

I had originally placed an order for a k700s back in October and was told that the specific machine was built and to be delivered last week of December. It is now almost mid January and my Rep Jeff returned my calls and messages with some not so great news. Turns out there was a delay in production and I’m now expecting delivery in April. Bummer.

Anyway, my question is if it’s possible to order and fit the Felder Auto rip fence after market? I didn’t want to wait even longer for a custom build with one so went with a standard saw setup that was available to reserve back in October.?

I wouldn’t know where the 45? cut lands, and how consistent that is from machine to machine. I would probably think that might have to be a machine to machine custom situation. Honestly I don’t know that I’d worry about it at angles on the leading edge, just back up the trailing edge to stop splintering.
