I am slowly filling out the shaping side of the used KF700SP that I purchased. The fold away shaper shelf arrived from Felder 2 weeks ago (unfortunately the gas strut version won't fit this saw) and a Whitehill combi-head came yesterday. Next up is a power feeder. My question for all of you is where you would get one, and any model advice. I looked in the archive and there was not much that is recent. I had a Delta min-feeder that was quite handy on the prior Delta HD, but it just won't reach on the Felder so I sold it.
I'd rather skip 3 phase. I have 5 VFD and my home-made RPC powers the saw, so its not that I can't, but used feeders seem to be $6-800 and after I add another VFD we are getting closer to the Comatic. The variable speed looks attractive. I was set to buy a new KF500S when the used 700 appeared, so I still have a few shekels in the account.
