WE INVENTED THE SLIDING TABLE SAW. NOW WE ARE REINVENTING IT. YOUR NEW ALTENDORF. The world has Wilhelm Altendorf to thank for the sliding table saw. His invaluable invention, which first saw the light of day in 1906, enabled users to make a straight trim cut in a plank – an essential precursor to the 90° crosscut – for the first time. Woodworkers all over the world have been reaping the benefits of this remarkable invention ever since, with more than 150 000 Altendorf machines sold worldwide to date. Unsurprisingly perhaps, the intervening years have also seen the Altendorf name become...

THERE IS STILL ONLY ONE F 45. YOUR NEW ALTENDORF. The new F 45 is a masterpiece of technology and design. The comprehensively redesigned machine frame combines absolutely unprecedented torsion resistance with extremely low levels of vibration, while the smooth front and clear foot space on the floor enable you to operate closer to the machine and the workpiece. The famously smooth-running sliding table, which has received a number of design tweaks, remains the undisputed benchmark for precision cutting and minimal maintenance. The crisp new industrial design underlines the distinctive...
