Re: Hammer/CF-531 Zero Clearance Insert
Nice! It might have taken me a while to getting around to make one. Now I don't have to. Felder just notified me that my saw should arrive mid-July instead of the late August date I was given a while

Re: Wixey digital fence on K500 rip fence - feedback
In fact, it is related, I started with the link on the forum for a K3, but I do have a K500 and was asking if anyone did the same on a K500 or can give more information about this K3 solution. I am

Re: Wixey digital fence on K500 rip fence - feedback
I know I am new here but why are we talking about DRO's on Felder machines which has nothing to do with the OP's question about a Wixey on a K3.

Re: Wixey digital fence on K500 rip fence - feedback

Re: Wixey digital fence on K500 rip fence - feedback
Strange, I measured my cross cut fence when you came up with your solution last year or a couple of months ago and I was sure mine did not fit the measurements on your web site. Will measure again, we

Not really, at least I don¡¯t see any real discounts. I think you would have to be up in the 20+ units (all the same) to even start to see a small discount. Brian Lamb blamb11@...

Imran, the guy that gave me the info said that pricing was a discounted rate for FOG members. Might be worth checking directly with him as there are show discounts as well and pricing he gave me for 3

Re: Wixey digital fence on K500 rip fence - feedback

Re: Wixey digital fence on K500 rip fence - feedback
I was told by Felder that the K500¡¯s ordered for the USA were supposed to have the same 72mm x 70mm fence extrusion as the 700 series. So if that is the case, our DRO will work on your rip fence.

Re: Wixey digital fence on K500 rip fence - feedback
