I have software that will split up pdf files into manageable portions, but I had not yet done that. I appreciate Mr. Wolf getting it done.

The German BGHM guide, is the most informative I've seen, regarding the use of sliders.

I was curious, but don't read German, so I clipped out the section on sliding table saws and let Google take a crack at translating it.? It did well enough that I thought others might want to read it, so I've uploaded the translation to the Files section, at General Information/BGHM sliding table saw training translated.pdf?
 

I have the narrow rip capacity machine, 32" or so. I've had my machine up against walls a time or two and always left 49" or so from the blade to any unmovable obstruction on the right so I could split a 4x8 sheet.

I would like to pose a question to the group regarding the comments above…. I am in a small space with a K700S, and every inch of usability that I remove from the right side of the blade I pick up on the left side.?

Given this scenario, how would you all apportion the space?? Right side as small as possible to maximize cross-cut/outrigger capacity?? Is there a happy medium?

This is how I recommend you set up your rip fence for use as both a conventional rip fence and as a bump stop:

Hi Everyone?

I just joined the forum and there is so much helpful info, thanks everyone!

I just got my k700s 2 weeks ago and would like some advice on ripping. My saw was setup by a Felder tech and he gave the rip fence a toe out. I don’t like when I use it as a bump stop and I find ripping harder than on my old cabinet saw.?

Any advice or tips on the rip fence and ripping would be greatly appreciated.?

I read the post about adding tape to the rip fence when using it as a stop. I think David Best wrote it. I have not tried it yet, but I will

Like other stated, it is recommended to use the slider and/or a Frizt-n-Franz jig to rip anything on the left side of the blade.? That being said, I find that I still need to rip on the right side occasionally if the need arises.? An example would be a 6-8 foot long board that is 1-1/2" wide that I need to rip down to 1" wide.? Trying to do this on the slider has elements of inaccuracy because the long board can bend/fliex sideways to create a width that changes over the 6-8 feet.?

Welcome to the club Jonathan,?
Best advice is to do your ripping to the left of the blade on the slider. I do mine in conjunction with the flip stop on the fence and Brian's parallel fence towards the rear of the slider. I also use a Fritz and Franz for ripping some smaller parts and tapers. The only thing I ever use the rip fence for is a bump stop.?

I also still have a cabinet saw, and will rip there occasionally.

I went through the same evolution. The tape trick on the rip fence really works.
?
I do miss the ability to quickly and accurately rip with a rip fence, but have learned to rip with the slider. It just takes a little more time to set up a cut. ?Using the rip fence to align stock for ripping works pretty well if your stock is wide enough to clamp to the table. Otherwise use parallel fences like the one Lamb Tool Works sells. A Fritz and Fanz jig helps rip pieces that are fairly short (say 2 feet or less), but I have not gotten comfortable using mine for longer pieces.
?
if you have not done so, add DRO to your outrigger fence and to your rip fence. Those upgrades will make many operations easier.
?
Overall the change from a cabinet saw to a slider has been positive. So positive, in fact, that I am upgrading from a K700S to a Kappa 450X. That saw is on a boat transiting the Panama Canal right now.
