Sliding Table Panel Saw

A masterpiece of engineering. The ultimate in precision and smoothness
This precision guiding system will carry maximum loads without compromising the smooth and accurate stroke of the sliding table. The “X”-configuration of the roller bearings optimally distributes workpiece weight to all sides. With a roller bearing system, the full width of the bearing is in contact with the guiding track. With no single point of contact between the bearing and the guiding track as found on conventional ball bearing systems, the roller bearing will never wear a groove into the guiding track. This ensures play-free guiding for the lifetime of the machine. The “X-Roll” system is backed with a 10-year factory guarantee.

Panel saw drive unit 133

- Electronic height adjustment with LED display
- Electronic angle adjustment with digital LED display
- Tilting of saw-blade 90°-45°
- Oversized saw arbor with double bearing trunnions
- Maximum energy transfer from the Poly-V belt
- 3-speed: 3500/4500/5500 rpm
- Optimal extraction with a completely enclosed, below table extraction system
- Dovetail guidance system of the height adjustment
- A highly robust synthetic material located in the guidance track of the tilting brackets, ensures they run smoothly and are maintenance free even under the most extreme conditions. The tilt guide segment runs without lubrication and is insensitive to dust.

Scoring unit

There are two versions available for the operation of the scoring unit: Classic or Automatic. Classic: the height and lateral setting of the scoring blade is adjusted manually from the top of the saw unit table. Automatic: scoring saw blade height adjustment is electrical, and the side adjustment is manual. When the scoring unit is switched on, the scoring blade rises to its pre-set position automatically. When the main blade is switched off, the scoring blade automatically sinks back under the table. First class comfort!

Positioning control of the rip fence

The rip fence is positioned by a motor and runs via a dust-free integrated ball spindle in the saw table. Fence positioning is accurate to 0.1 mm, this combined with fast positioning speed and that the saw blade height and tilt can be adjusted simultaneously, ensures precision and significant reduction in working time.

“X-Roll” outrigger table

The 8x ball bearings, integrated guide rollers and bearings of the outrigger table ensure an incredibly smooth operation upon maximum loading capacity. The support rail is moved along an “X-Roll” guiding system and is fast and fine-adjustable. The LED display enables you to set the required angle to one tenth of a degree. The fence can be tilted to any position between -45° and +45° and guarantees precise mitre cuts.

“X-Roll” sliding table, 10 year guarantee

“X-Roll”, making a difference:
- Extremely smooth and precise sliding action! With the roller-bearing system there is no single point of contact between bearings and guiding track, maximising precision over the lifetime of the machine. A 3 way dust protection system ensures clean, dust free guide rails. This is obtained through silicon wipers, brushes and concave tracks. Your X-Roll sliding table guidance system is backed by a 10 year factory guarantee.
- Clean, dust-free guide rails thanks to special silicon wipers.
- Hardened-steel tracks ensure accuracy and durability.
- 10 year guarantee

Parallelogram outrigger table

The solidly built parallelogram outrigger table enables mitre cuts from –45° to +45°. The surface available for the workpiece remains the same regardless of the angle setting. The digital display of the angle setting is accurate to 1/100th of a degree. The angle/length compensation is carried out using either a Nonius scale or “digi-compensation plus”.

Digital accuracy

On request, we will equip your Format-4 with the digital telescopic fence. Below, you see the cleverly integrated electronic digital scale with values correct to 0.1 millimeter. Additional functions, for example the setting of successive measurements, make your daily working life easier.

Electronic digital display can be read from every position.

The rip fence can be fitted with an electronic digital display. The perfect integration of the electronic unit allows you to turn the display around 90°, so the values can be clearly seen and read from the operating area. Additional functions such as the input of incremental measurements make your daily working life easier. Further highlights:

Always at hand - Additional storage options in the front tool compartment

The tried and tested tool compartment positioned directly at the front of the machine has now been made even more practical with the addition of two magnets for the storage of the riving knife and the scoring blade. There will also be the possibility to attach the edging shoe directly to the machine for storage. So everything is always in its place!
