Stupid question, gonna ask anyway

Am I right to assume that you can use the new df 500 connectors with my xl and a Seneca adapter? I know I should be able to but just checking to make sure I am not missing something .

You will be fine. For face cuts (not referenced by the edge of the wood) the XL + adapter might be a bit more difficult, but will cut fine.

Huh, dont know if anyone knows for sure yet, but I certainly dont see why you couldnt. If the DF 500 tenons will work when using a DF 700 with the Seneca adapter why wouldnt the DF 500 Connectors fit in those same holes?

The simple answer is No, as others have mentioned. I use mine very well for small pieces or detailed items. However, I have had pretty good luck with long pieces when I've set up an  outbound surface for the piece to slide onto. At some point I would like to make a dedicated in/out feed platform to go around the 850 but haven't had time.
If you have a 6" jointer stick with it. Probably the more accurate option.

I think meant for a different topic??

You won't need the seneca adapter as the new connectors are D8mm, which is a standard 700XL size (the smallest).

Oops, probably shouldn't answer a thread when I'm tired.
