F-45 Series Sliding Table Saws

For the craftsman who relies on accurate cuts, time and again, the Altendorf F-45 Series machines are the only choice. Available in standard configurations through NC-equipped models.

Cost Effectiveness Study

Before purchasing an Altendorf sliding table saw, you would naturally like to check whether it would be a worthwhile investment for your company. Would it pay you to buy a machine with additional features, which would then make your unit costs lower? As part of a project, students at the Fachhochschule Lippe und Höxter in Germany looked at this and other issues with reference to one of our F-45 sliding table saws. Students from the Woodworking, Business and Logistics departments compared the cost-effectiveness of various configuration levels of the F-45 sliding table saw, based on the cost of making a computer cabinet with a drawer.
