Showing your Felder slider with a suit on, I love it! Awesome shop, I love how clean and bright everything is. I bet it's much easier to focus on the task at hand! Great video.

Very helpful review and a most unusual video in a few ways - firstly there is not one speck of sawdust evident anywhere - secondly the woodworker is wearing a suit and thirdly the presentation is delivered with a speaking voice a Hollywood actor would pay good money for! Bravo I say and off I go to Felder!

Nice saw.. your demo makes it shine! Almost bought the same saw but settled for a Hammer C3-31 combo instead (smaller shop) but now that I have a bigger workshop, and after watching your video, I wish I had ...Keep up the good demos

Thank you for posting this video. I am currently in the market for a new saw and I was considering either the Sawstop or the Felder. You make some excellent points for the Felder. I spoke with the representative today and am going through the options I want. Thanks again for all your insights!

Love it, just purchased the K700S with Eric, with the 49” rip fence and the premium 1500 crosscut table!!! Awesome video, it definitely helped me make up my mind! I was going to get the Maksiwa to save money, but Felder customer service won me over!!!! Thanks

Great video. Have mine on order. Went with the power drive and cnc fence. Can’t wait for it to get here.

Great review on such high quality machinery. Very clean looking shop too!

Wow! I haven’t seen you in that suit since you got married. Gilbert, you have a very nice piece of equipment! This will permit you to do your work a lot more easier! Congratulations!

Felder make one hell of a machine, the options and accessory's are all available for those that just want to buy the shop made solution and have the means to do so. It looks well built enough, and certainly has advantages over the typical table saw. The downside outside the investment if there is one, is this beast eats a lot of floor space, and being a more complicated machine will require some upkeep above and beyond the alternative. You never have your hands near the blade, that's the best feature.

I use my rip fence both for ripping and as a stop. When I first got my saw, I didn't use the rip fence for ripping at all. But it's still the better choice for parallel ripping lumber, especially lumber too long to fit on the sliding table (my table is shorter, around 6' capacity). My tiny shop has enough room for me to process lumber up to 7' long, so I use the rip fence for that. Your comments about it not taking up much more room than a cabinet saw are right on. I need the space in front/behind, but when the table is parked, it doesn't take up much room at all. I also have that parallel rip guide, but I just don't have clearance in my shop to use it. If I had that, I may not use the regular rip fence as much. You can move that support table anywhere along the sliding table, but the support arm won't go with it the full distance. Your F&F jig is nice. I ended up buying the (overpriced) one through Felder, only because there was no other way to get those clamps it comes with. I really like those clamps. The more powerful cam clamps get super rusty in my shop. Limitations: things like tenoning jigs are more of a challenge on the slider. The fence is different, and there are no miter slots on the cast iron. That's not something I normally do, though. BTW, I talked to my rep. I think I'm going to order one of those diamond blades. I still can't believe the finish coming off that. The only thing they mentioned is, unlike carbide, they can't sharpen those locally; they have to go back to Austria for sharpening. Thanks again for making me aware of that blade!

You and that saw take it to a very high level. The suit is a nice touch :-) Such a clean and beautiful garage. FYI, I have been to Noelville many times

Thank you what a great review and demonstration. Keep up the good work..

Very nice video, I was never taught all the tricks but over time I learned a lot myself and many are similar to how you work. Felder make great machines. And btw, I make my own accessories when needed. =)

I love using this style of saw, especially since I built Fitz n Floyd jigs.

Now that was a complete explanation of your saw Gilbert, It is a beautiful piece of equipment and it fits you to a T. Has a lot to do with preset ion and the ease of producing a finish and perfect product in the end.... Well done and by the way.... The suit make this a professional video I think, like you father said.....he had only seen you with a dress up like that, on your wedding day.....well done.....CHEERS

Hey its been a while right ?! That's a very clear and profesional review ! Oh and i love your suit, well done ! Please take care Gilbert, cheers :D

Wow, you clean up nice Gilbert, lol.. Man, what a nice system.. Been looking forward to this review.. Learned alot.. So many cool features. I was wondering if you would stop using the miter saw, but didnt think you would sell it, lol. That speaks to the versatility of this sliding table saw.. Thanks for taking the time to do this.. Cant wait to see what you make next !

Your video made me think about a Felder K700S instead of purchasing a cnc with so much maintenance. Thank you so much ... Greetings from Sri lanka.

Great video, thank you for making it. Do you ever wish you had the bigger motor, or do you find that the 4 HP has plenty of power? Thank you.

Thanks, this swayed me to opt for something seriously more expensive.

New Sub :) I switched from my PM66 to the KF700SP 5 or 6 years ago and will attest that everything you said is 100% true. Love this thing. Also: like your little “garage box” in the slider - have to do that. You know that you can rotate the rip fence 90 deg for a lower profile, right? Still works great as a stop; doesn’t get in the way of the dust collector hood as much. Triple-check the alignment of your riving knife with your blade. Even a few thou off can push panels away from the CC fence and take them slightly out of square. Brass shim stock is the only way to correct but worth it if you’re out.

I need to lift my game and start wearing my tux in the workshop. Great review.

Great review! I keep my eyes open for a used sawstop or a small Euro slider. I have not seen one up close yet but from videos like yours I can see how a Euro slider is more accurate, repeatable, safe than a traditional cabinet saw. I own an old General cabinet saw and I am always using push sticks and jigs to get the job done.

One very important spec for the 700 vs. the 500 is the trunnion that compensates for length of cut with changing tilt of the blade. 500 does not have this feature (a simpler trunnion). I chose to get the servo motored tilt and raise of the blade. This feature makes your thought process quicker to arrive at blade changes and when in the middle of several different measures it can speed up your process remarkably. When doing a bust cut where you have wood on the table and want to raise the blade for a stop cut; the servo assist allows you to hold the wood and push the slider and check your progress all at the same time. When cutting a 4' X 8' piece of ply the servo assist allows you to do it with simple action. You can take the blade cut below the table and whirl the wood without taking the 4 X 8 off of the table when you have servo assist. To me it is the difference between a manual transmission vs. automatic in a car. I worked at one larger shop briefly and they had three SawStop saws and my opinion was that saw was an antique concept with a finger sensor. The saw guard was impossible to see around and without that slider one operator could not do larger rips with accuracy. Keep greasing the fittings on schedule if that saw has them.

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's beautiful.

Amazing workshop ❤

As I sit here watching this video, a man in a suit normally does not get my attention. But you did. Your knowledge of what you own is very impressive. A man that uses his "tools" knows his "tools. Getting ready to build my wood shop, 30' x 40'. Yes, running Felder. Was looking at the K700s as the saw for my shop. Along with a few other Felder items. A few questions if, I might? 1.) The dust collections system you are using, who made it? 2.) The power supply, I'm assuming it's 240v, single phase? 3.) What was the wait time on your Felder products? 4.) How did you get it home? 5.) What did you get the F & F jig setup? Thank you kindly. consider me a subscriber. ScottishxPride, Tx.

I have seen some people mounting a cross laser on the celling to indicate where the cut goes on a length of the sliding table.

Yes i get one to with tha molder and also the felder planer thickners ad741 with the spiral cutterblock and so dam happy👍for felder macines😁

Where did you get your franz and fritz thing? That looks awesome

Amazing video thank you for this, I’m most likely going to be getting the K700 as I don’t usually rip sheets bigger than the 4x8 plywood. Can you give us some info on the power requirements for this saw? Thanks again

Doceniam i podziwiam Pana ubranie i pracę przy formatowej k700 a serio to piękna maszyna i super prezentacja Dziękuję 👍

im still using my 25 yr old general 350, im still torn between getting a sawstop or felder. just for personal use. Thanks for the informative info

Makes good sense to me.

Awesome saw. They know how to build em

good video, love the suit. i have a Martin slider, and i wouldn't trade it for anything. if you want a nice upgrade, look to Mac Campshire's pneumatic clamps - makes a world of difference and well worth the money.

Thank you truly for a marvelous video of your saw. You sold me on a sliding table saw. Is the Felder the very best?

Very nice saw. Does it come in a smaller size ? smaller foot print? I know Hammer does but how about Felder?

Great Investment. This is actually on my shopping list.

I bought a MiniMax si315 elite s and it does everything that Felder can do for half the price. Plus I didn't need a technician to come put it together, I did everything myself and more. I even made improvements to the saw better than what MiniMax did. I and a electronic friend installed on/off switch on the end of the slider like yours , works great. I love mine! .Also I do have a new cabinet table saw that is great for cutting small pieces of wood, and I still use a festool miter saw. I like how clean your workshop is and the painted floor, same as mine, your a clean woodworker I like that. Very nice shop you have.

Never seen a tool review in a business suit before, well done. First time viewing your channel I will be back. From your accent I would guess you're from the Maritimes?

Ne again, did you opt for a scoring unit? If not, did you regret it? Your blade seems to be a nice cut without! What motor did you choose? Standard 4kw? Would you upgrade? Finally did you get Dado Option? Thank you so much!

You both look sharp 😁

Now I understand why you don't need the Format 4 with the PCS system. Safety is built in since you never need to get close to the blade. Spotted your benchtop drill press in the background. Since you prefer quality tools, have you had a look at the Nova Voyager by Teknatools? Sold in Canada by King. If you consider it I would suggest the Voyager over the Viking.

Great shop and review! I noticed you have the jointer/planer combo in which i‘m interested in. Is the Manual crank for the thicknessplaner alright or did you regret not going for the motorized version? Greetings

I like the video, the workshop and the way you presented the Felder sliding saw in suit like a prime minister👍😬 Would you please explain more why you sold your miter saw? wouldn't be more handy than this saw in miter angles?

I'm not sure if you have three phase power so this may be a mute point but if your saw is single phase it is really important to hold the start button down for about three seconds before releasing to let the saw get to full speed. If you just hit the button when you start it you will be putting a new capacitor in it about every six months. If it is a three phase saw I don't believe this is an issue.

whats the footprint on this thing like how much shop space does it take up

hello great video thank you very much for your time, I wish I could have the help of the cabinetmaker community, I am undecided between a SCM si nova 400 and the Felder k 700S for my new workshop. I have the experience of having worked with the SCM si nova 400 for 2.5 years and with the format4 for 1.5 years, but I have never seen a k 700S. Thanks to everything and prosperity.

A shop that looks like it's brand new, and no work has yet been done in it? You're my kind of craftsman! I hate a dirty shop.

Love that saw! I have a sawstop, but I dream of the felder slider!

Thanks for the review. Did you evaluate any other sliding table saws such as Altendorf?

So many of those elements are much better on the Altendorf, like moving the crosscut fence forwards which takes half the time. Trouble is that it is much more expensive. And good luck keeping those slide table rollers clean

Having had a Felder 714 combination machine I can vouch for their build quality. But I have to take issue with his describing the dial option on the height adjustment, he only told half the benefit. Those adjustment wheels ALL have the same thread pitch and one complete revolution is 2mm, so if you need to adjust height by say 7mm, you just rotate dial 3 1/2 revolutions, saves so much time. If you require absolute precision you can eyeball the pointer between the smallest lines to achieve an accuracy of 1/100 mm. Of course being wood, it won't stay at that!!

Hello, nice video. Thank you Question, I like to do mortise and tenon joinery, is the machine able to make tenon’s. Currently I use a Delta tenon jig ?

I have exactly the same saw in the UK you seem a nice person but you don’t use the saw to it’s full potential, you certainly do not need those Kreg attachments you can do everything either off the cross cut fence or the ripping fence. Have a look at how these table saws are used in Europe, once you get used to it you will find it’s far quicker to process panels the way it’s intended to be used. I have the table saw, planer thicknesser, spindle moulded Bandsaw and dust extraction unit all by Felder, yes there expensive but they are top of the range and a joy to use. Note never seen a bloke in a suit on a table saw, unless he was a rep stay safe and enjoy that lovely machine.

I knew this guy was not a real wood worker because he does not have a Tie. 😂 lol. Thanks for the review. The sad fact that all American tablesaws are made in China or Taiwan leaves a bad taste in my mouth from wanting to purchase one. But this Felder has sparked my interest in owning a sliding European table saw.

Does your Felder slider run on a single phase 230v? If so, then you have a 30 amp breaker, right? When you start the machine up, is there any hesitation to it at all or is it pretty much instant start up of the blade? Also, when not using the saw and you want to lock it in the center position of the saw unit, is this locked position pretty much sitting center of the blade or center of the 6’ body section of the slider support frame? Thank You

Currently looking at the same saw for my shop. Do you think power lift and tilt are worth the extra money? If you had to do it again.

Hello from France/Europe Thank you very much for this video. This gave me good information about the saw for a purchase I am considering soon.

May I ask where you bought your yellow Fritz and Franz handle? Thanks

What is he doing with cutting the thin strips (at 20:00) and discarding them ?

Hello, thanks for sharing, this is such a useful and functional sliding table saw. I'm setting up my workshop in Saskatoon and wish to get one like this. Can I get I for on how to get one like this. Thanks.

That a series piece of kit, would of thought the blade adjusting wheel would of been automated with a digital measuring reader, but I guess if it was perfect then there would never be a reason to upgrade.

Fielders dust collection is so good , you can come to workin a suit .

Very nice but my garage does not have 220

I’m curious why you don’t have three control buttons on the back of the carriage bed? Felder has two green buttons, one for main blade, one for scorer blade, and red button for off. And so this is what they call the 3200mm sliding table? When you want to slide the outrigger table down the slider bed, can you leave the cross cut fence in place while sliding it down? Thx

Very nice 🖒

Well I did it! I joined the “Felder family”. My new K 700 S has been officially ordered and will be here in October! I’m pretty damn excited! Went full power automation and digital on everything, but the rip fence. Wanted to ask you when your standing in front of the saw, just below the rip fence sliding bar, is there an area to slip a pallet jack under the machine? How did you move it around to set it in the location you have yours in now? Thank You.

I'm considering this same saw. Can you tell me which motor size you got and is it a single phase motor? Great review!!

That workshop is very clean! Has it ever seen any work or are you just OCD of cleanliness!

Como los ubicó en peru

How can I get this please

is this the 7 hp or the 10 hp?

How long it normally takes to get it in EU If I got that right, we need to wait about a few months, am I right?

Nice laboratory Mr. Fancy Pants. What's that wood working machine doing in there?

How much dod its cost?

👍

Precio ???

Does it take American or European style dado blades. ?

Is you outrigger table the 1500mm size? And do you have heavier duty Format 4 cross cut fence? Thx

top

Having problems with my machine. It was running great for about a year. Recently it has been shutting off after about 10 minutes of use! Anyone experiencing this issue!?

A woodworker in suit, whoo

Your rip fence is angled away from the blade - called toe-out. Your thing strip off-cuts will be tapered.

that is a hell of a machine for 20,000 i believe

😲👏👏👏👏👏

👍👏🙏❤

Is this 3phase with built in vfd convertor?

Could you tell me the overall width of this saw from left to right? So furthest point of outrigger fence to the other side. I need to check my shop space again.

What are the dimensions of your shop ?

What’s one setup like that cost?

You should do all your videos in a 3 piece suit.

baru buka chanel ini ingin memiliki. tapi harganya itu yg bikin ngeri untuk pekerja kayu seerti aku yg tinggal di indoesia

AWESOME SAW but the price on one of those, i would have to take a loan out on my house

want, want , want!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How much?

Dad Oh blade

You're missing a tie

That's not a saw, that's a space ship. Seems like that saw needs a Bugatti parked next to it.
