Re: KF700sp and AD741 used pricing
David,
Thanks for the details. My KF700 is from 2002. So just to add perspective on lube in nearly 20 yrs I have cleaned and lubed following twice:
- worm screw for angle change
- the casting surfaces on front and rear where the mechanism slides during angle change
- dovetails for shaper elevation
Obviously in commercial use it would be more often and perhaps i should have done it more often but everything works just like when it was new. I do not envision more than annual maintenance in hobby use.
Point being it is not a big job that would take a lot of time. I know you are not saying that but I thought it would help a new owner to be aware of what this maintenance entails.

David, here are some more pictures. Sorry for the delay.. The sled attaches to the T-slot with two screws. One goes into the same T-nut I use for the crosscut fence, the other goes into a seperate T-nut (bought from Felder). The two aluminum brackets are for locating the sled at the exact same spot every time. By using aluminum extrusions for the base I have unlimited posibilities to attach jigs.

Re: Felder High Speed Router Spindle 424-111
Bill, I have a router table and I recently bought the high speed spindle for my KF700. I have a really small work shop. Initially I put my router table out for sale. When I got a buyer on it I got cold feet. I told the buyer it was not for sale anymore. I have put too many building hours into that table, I didn't have heart to sell it. It's now stashed away due to lack of space, but I do miss two features from it. Both of which I will probably implement on the KF700:
1. Incra fence
2. Incra magna lock
My router table is home built with a Festool OF 2200 permanently mounted. I have never had any viration issues or lack of power. But the KF700 is really smooht, even at the lower speed (15k).
If I would have space for it I would definitely use the router table. The setup time is faster for small jobs.

Re: Mantle Build Question
Mark,
I totally agree. I thought that the weak point of simple mounting block are exactly what you mention. The movement of wood (in the mounting block) under lateral load from screw or the screw itself bending. I thought use of hardwood mounting block, a super tight fit and screws appropriate in shank size would overcome that. Never disagreed that french cleat is not superior.
I would be interested in knowing if Joe Jensen figured out the reason of the sag and whether it could be remedied. His decision to go with french cleat may be because he did not think so but still bd good to know.

Re: Kappa 400 Below Table Dust Extraction + Kappa 400 Review
All I was saying is that if I new in the beginning that I would end up spending the amount of dollars I ended up spending I would have been looking at Martin and/or Altendorf, I originally only planned on spending 10k
I only ended up in Felder world due to replacing a J/P, I wanted the SCM version but it was 3 phase only an I didn’t have that and somehow found my way to the AD941. I hadn’t even planned on a saw until this year but because of some issues with the AD941 I got a “deal” on the K700s, anyways the K940s is a really nice build for the money it’s actually what I was expecting the k700s to be.

Re: KF700sp and AD741 used pricing
I could be wrong, but I don’t think the double trunnion came about until about 2007-2008. There were quite a few years with the X-roll but still single trunnion.

This KF700 has a double trunion - not the single trunion from the pre-2004 era Brian is talking about. ?What it does not have is the new EasyGlide (Delrin) runners in the trunion, so it requires lube and more maintenance.
Thanks Brian for your description. I'm sure that the older trunnion may be just fine, but it does require more cleaning, lubrication and perhaps fussing with adjustments. ?That being said both saws that I reviewed were in acceptable condition and in need of attention. In need of attention from the stand point that it was difficult to tilt the saw blade and shaper trunnions. So did both saws need a good cleaning under the hood? ?Yes. ?Perhaps I could have purchased either KF700, cleaned lubricated and taken care of the issue. ?Perhaps after cleaning and lubricating I would have needed to learn how to make adjustments, repairs or have Felder service visit and spend a pretty penny adjusting or fixing a 14 to 17 year old KF700.
There are a variety of reasons why I chose not to buy these saws. ?I have learned a lot from this experience. ?I feel that a KF700 with newer double trunnions would be a better choice for me. These saws will probably make some lucky buyers very happy. It is important to do your due diligence in any machine purchase, however and my experience led me to a point were I needed to move on.

This brings into account an adjustment nightmare dealing with “angle of the dangle” as well as toe-in and toe-out in the other direction. Failure to get the angle correct creates all sorts of issues when tilting the saw/shaper aggregate.

All that said, my old machine is of this design and once set, it’s pretty stable. If I was looking for a machine though, it would be the double trunnion machine… more easily adjusted and has better longevity of settings, and with the polymer materials used in the trunnion the smoothness and easiness of tilting is considerably better.

For a lot of reasons and assistance from some amazing people on FOG, I have backed out of this deal. ?The accessories and tooling are great, but the high price, age and trunnion issues make this offering good from afar, but far from good. ?Unfortunately, the seller will not part out the tooling and/or accessories and prefers to sell as a package deal. ?
Back on the search and contemplating buying new.
Thanks to everyone for their thoughts!
