Felder Hammer K3 dimensions, Walk around sliding table saw, can I fit a sliding table saw? 

Necessity is the mother of all invention...

👍

I'm glad it helped.

You are correct. You need to be able to fully extend the slider back (toward the operator side) to be able to fully access the blade.

👍

Goodmorning. Here's a link for the machine feet I used: www.schwaderer.com/products/maschinenfuss-stellfuss-sfel80-zur-bodenbefestigung

@@builtfixed6611 thank you for the quick response, wow! Is it the M8, 50mm version or is it just the default on the page. Sorry for bothering.

@@89Blubbi I guess the webpage loads up the default setting.... I bought the 80mm diameter with 10 mm stud. There is no harm in having the studs extra long as there is plenty of room inside the k3 frame. I believe mine are 100mm long but get enough length to level for your floor uneveness plus any additional height if you want your saw higher than factory.

I always use overhead dust extraction for thru cuts. The euro guard quickly pops off the riving knife by loosening a thumb screw.

With the outrigger off the saw it has the same functionality minus cross cutting. I leave the outrigger on all the time unless I have a need for that floor space. Hammer does sell a slider mounted small cross cut with miter guage similar to what might be used on a standard table saw but I have not tried it.

Interesting and clever solution but I think my projects are in the way of my saw! I have 8 windows ready for glueup stacked on the saw in the way. Back to work!

I'll look into that. A short solution I would recommend is to never trust a decal. Get their digital angle wheel as that is easily adjusted and very accurate compared to a decal.

Hi Derek. I can say that the dado prep and scoring unit were upgrades that I have been very happy about. The dado cutter is not cheap but it is well made and works great. The price is listed on their online shop. I don't think that I should post the machine price on an open forum. Give me your email if you want to chat about that.

@@builtfixed6611 Thanks for the reply. On the uk website they do not list the price of their machines you have to request a quote. I have now spoken to 2 different people from the felder group, the first person said to email him with a list of the options I want and he will get back to me with a price, he also mentioned a lead time of 6 weeks. Email was send and I got an automated response saying he is out of the office this week. So phoned and spoke to someone else with a list of the options required and this chap would not give a quote but said the machine could be as much as £4500 with a lead time of 26 weeks. I just feel that when companies aren't transparent with there prices it leaves the end user vonrable to being over charged for a product. When ordering my A3 31 it was a much simpler process. One call and I was given the price of the machine and a list of prices for each upgrade. Order placed deposit paid and now just waiting till end of June for delivery.

@@derekrobertson1548 I meant the price of accessories....dado cutter is online. You are correct that their business model is not like a normal brick and mortar store. I would not be surprised if the lead time is 6 months+. Given the surge with raw materials, steel included) I could imagine pricing changing continuously. I ordered start of April 2020 and received the saw mid October. I'll check and see if I can pull up a list of the line item options I ordered if that is useful...

@@derekrobertson1548 Unfortunately my order was not in english so translating the line items over might not be accurate with uk in naming but I think you can figure out what I mean. k3 winner 4kW 5.5hp (454) dado prep (82) scoring unit (74) prof rip with 40mm dia steel bar (86) fine adjust rip (88) 800mm rip capacity (78) 2000mm slider (132) 1100 outrigger (160) outrigger degree scale 1300mm outrigger crosscut (168) shipping slient power classic 250mm blade 80mm pre score blade

@@builtfixed6611 I have seen the price of the dado blade online and would probably get that at a later date but will need the prep for it done when ordering the machine. will wait till next week and speak to Russell again and see if he can help out a bit more as that's who I spoke to on Thursday. He recons he can get the order rushed through for a 6 week lead time as my current saw has took a massive dump on me in the middle of remodeling the kitchen in my own house, as you can imagine I am now living in a bomb site, no walls between living room and kitchen with just a few makeshift cabinets sitting in place. Ad you can probably imagine The other half is not to amused lol. Ah well that's life it happens.

You will need to have the sheet metal table and it's support brackets removed and the power supply removed. It would appear that the saw without the outrigger option and without the sheet metal table just fits thru 91.5cm with power supply attached. Removing the sheet metal table and power supply is easy. Don't mess with the outrigger arm.

Glad it helped

Hi Elias. It can be easily removed but the reinstallation will probably take hours to realign and calibrate. Which size slider have you ordered?

@@builtfixed6611 well, good to know the option is there so there will be a way to get it downstairs for sure. I ordered the 2m slider version just now, since my shop is 8.5m x 3.9m that shouldnt be a problem. now i only have to wait till february...that sucks...

You're going to hate my answer initially but hear me out. I think if you ask a dozen people you will get about as many different answers. The machines are built to order; the exact build and accessories make a difference. My delivery price was reasonable but I have truck delivery from the factory whereas a west coast USA customer will have ocean freight and trucking costs. If you want the very best price sign up with them to receive their sale flyers and wait for the machine you're after to go on sale. Their sale prices are substantial.

I would dare say that you are safe! 👍
