An overview of the key features.

Control panel on the machine frame

You can control the height and tilt adjustment of the main saw blade at the press of a button. The tilt angle is shown on the digital display.

Rip fence with precise manual adjustment

Setting the fence is easy; the precise adjustment facilitates great accuracy. The rip fence drops down clear of the machine table level to free up extra space for dividing large panels.

Crosscut fence with fixed 90° angle

Stops to 3,200 mm

The crosscut fence with fixed 90° angle earns its keep every day by helping with precision cuts on workpieces of different lengths and formats. The fence can be easily slid from front to back without lifting. Adjustment using graduated scale.

Sliding table

Table length 3,000 mm

The large dumbbell rollers guide the moving table with absolute precision between the hard-chromed guide bars. Robust though it is, the table responds even to a light touch, gliding smoothly and securely as if it were on rails. And it retains this ease of movement even after decades of hard work, dust and dirt.

Basic Configuration

Control panel on the machine frame

All functions are easily accessed on the control panel on the machine frame. You can control the rise/fall and tilt of the main saw blade at the touch of a button. The tilt angle is shown on the digital display.

Motor rating

4 kW (5.5 HP) with single speed (4,000 rpm)

Powerful and smooth-running The saw is a powerhouse produced with the latest manufacturing technology. The saw shaft runs incredibly smoothly because it is electronically balanced as a fully assembled unit and extensive use is made of cast components. The high-precision vertical movement of the unit is linear with maintenance-free guide bearings. The robust tilt quadrants incorporate the traditional Altendorf tongue and groove connection system, which allows the whole unit to tilt easily and precisely to exactly the correct angle.
