Format4 Kappa 400 x-motion for sale #format4 #forsale


 
Edited

Hello Everyone,
?
I am selling my 2016 Format4 Kappa 400 x-motion located in Southern California.
?
I am the second owner and the saw runs perfectly and is in very good condition.? I can send videos of whatever you would want to see about it running.
?
Spec:
  • 10hp 7.35kw 3ph
  • 3200mm slider
  • 1500mm outrigger with the large extrusion fence
  • 2 axis automatic scoring
  • Easy lock toolless blade system
  • 1 digital stop on the crosscut fence, 2 analog stops
  • Start buttons on the slider
  • All Manuals
Accessories included:
  • Mac's Clamps
  • Brian Lamb Digital parallel guide
  • 2 extra 3d printed crosscut fence zero clearance inserts
  • Full surface support for the outrigger
  • Slider handle
  • Carriage for the outrigger
The cost of all of these accessories can easily be looked up and total over $5500 plus the Felder digital stop I added for $1300.?
?
I am not in a hurry, as my new saw will not arrive for a while.
?
I am asking $20k with Mac's clamps and $17k without them.
?
I am posting here first.? I will wait a bit for all the other venues.

Oh boy,
?
Here we go.
?
I went to IWF and compared everything.? After seeing Albert's L'invincible's outrigger I decided on a SCM L'invincible SI 3.
?
Love my kappa 400 but I wanted a parallelogram style outrigger with digital compensation.? The 'Full Support' that Albert's saw has ticked all of the boxes for me.

Congratulations on the new saw and good luck with the sale.


 

Congrats, can't wait to see videos of it!

Hi PK¡¯s prospective buyers:

?

I have the same year Kappa 400 X-motion and I can strongly recommend it. In 8 years of serious use, it has never broken down, nor had an issue of any kind that I can recall. The best aspect of the saw (besides Mac¡¯s clamps and Brian¡¯s parallel fence) has to be the fact that the Kappa 400 holds calibration year after year. Unlike the Profil 45 which does not hold calibration at all, the Kappa 400 stays exactly square (calibrated using David Best¡¯s dial gauge and machine square set up method), the digital stops stay calibrated, and the rip fence stays accurate. Seriously, the outrigger crosscut stop stays so square that I rarely check it. In fact, I think I¡¯ve checked it about 3 times in 8 years, and on all three occasions I did not adjust calibration. This makes the machine the most accurate in my shop.

?

For what it is worth, I like my saw very much.

Cheers.

?

Warm regards,

Lucky

Seems like a good price too. A current Kappa 450 X-motion, with PCS, 7.5 HP, lacking clamps and the other extras, is US$45,000.
