Berlin, 1906: In order to produce his own furniture designs, Wilhelm Altendorf built a machine saw on which the workpiece is guided over the saw blade on a sliding table – a technique that greatly simplified trimming and sizing panels. He never dreamt that with this "sliding table and edging circular saw to the Altendorf system" he would be laying the foundations of a global company. Over the course of the following century "the Altendorf" became a legend, and the company became the world market leader for sliding table saws.
Today over 400 people work for Altendorf in countries all around the world. Every year 5000 sliding table saws leave its factories in Minden, Germany and its production site set up in 1995 in the Chinese town of Qinhuangdao and the production site set up in 2006 in Blumenau, Brasil, on their way to international customers in the woodworking, metalworking and plastics processing industries. Subsidiaries in Europe, Asia, Australia and America, together with many local dealers and sales partners handle these global sales. Altendorf has now sold over 120,000 machines in more than 120 countries worldwide, and today sees it still setting the standard for sliding table saws throughout the industry.
 | F 45 ELMO The new F 45 ELMO has been fundamentally redesigned. The result is a high-tech
modular system, which handles even the most challenging technical requirements of
the saw user. The low-reflection 12” colour LCD display with touch screen
functionality is new. This display method makes for straightforward operation through
a self-explanatory, graphics-oriented approach to control. The display shows 90% of
the applications, thus cutting down on time spent navigating. The USB port for data
exchange and backup is also new. A further innovation is the crosscut-mitre fence on
the F 45 ELMO IV, which can be adjusted to any angle between 0 and 47° and has
integral length compensation.
There are two versions of the F 45 ELMO with either three or four motorised
axes (F 45 ELMO III and F 45 ELMO IV respectively). Each of these machines can be
equipped with optional extras to meet your own individual requirements.
In 2007 the jury of the International Forum Design presented its iF gold award
for outstanding product design to the F 45 ELMO.

|  | WA 6 What to do when one has little space, plus a limited budget, but quality must still be maintained? When these requirements must be met by a sliding table saw, Altendorf’s answer is: an Altendorf WA 6. The WA 6 is the smallest Altendorf there is. But in spite of its smaller dimensions, its considerable abilities are impressive: with its powerful range of equipment, it stands out even in the smallest space. Outstanding for its cut quality and its flexibility in everyday use. And just as outstanding is the price. So what else is there to be concerned about?
|  | WA 8 from Altendorf is On a budget but still want high quality? Then the WA 8 from Altendorf is the ideal machine for you. This full-blooded sliding table saw delivers Altendorf quality at an affordable price, mastering effortlessly all the cuts that are the daily fare of modern woodworking shops. There are two versions of the WA 8 to choose from which allow you to opt for either motorised or manual rise/fall and tilt adjustment of the saw unit. Whichever one you decide on, you will get a professionally equipped sliding table saw at a price that makes it attractive both as an entry-level and as a second machine. |  | WA 80 The WA 80 is a product born of all that is best in Altendorf design and technology. It is also built where the top of the range and most powerful Altendorf sliding table saws are produced, at Altendorf’s Minden headquarters, on the same production lines as the classic models of the F 45 product. It’s no surprise that the new WA 80 has copied a few things from its big sister: the quality of its finishing, its flexibility in daily use, its extra convenience and ergonomic properties. In view of its attractive basic price, the WA 80 also makes an ideal choice as an entry-level or second machine – yet another reason to anticipate the pleasure of meeting it | |
