New! Overhead saw guard with sub-table extraction system
The newly developed overhead saw guard and dust removal system deliver perfect extraction results. The overhead saw guard, with its striking design, runs on linear guides and thus helps to facilitate the height adjustment. The dust and shavings are sucked from the saw guard into the extraction pipe via a short hose. The dust extraction below the table encloses the complete saw unit. The dust channel is the perfect design to provide an optimum air flow and perfect main blade and scoring unit extraction results.

New! The new sliding table with "X-Roll"
“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 6 year factory guarantee.
- Clean, dust-free guide rails thanks to special silicon wipers.
- Hardened-steel tracks ensure accuracy and durability.
- 6 year guarantee.

New! Rip fence standard on the solid steel rip bar
- Table scale as standard
- Fine adjustment as standard
- Optional electronic digital indicator for the
standard rip fence
- Optional position control, rip capacity reading
from the electronic digital indicator
The smooth movement of the rip fence, feels like it’s hovering over the cast iron table. The single-handed quick clamping and the fine adjustment ensure quick and accurate setting of the rip fence to your required settings!
The aluminium rip fence plate can be adjusted to optimise the feeding of workpieces. When working with narrow and thin cuts of wood or with the sawblade tilted, it can be laid on its side and used in the flat position.

Electronic digital indicator display, readable 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:
- Brightly illuminated red LED display facilitates the reading of values
- No batteries are required due to a direct connection to the machine’s power supply
- Recognises automatically whether the fence is in the vertical or horizontal position

Overhead saw guard
The Format-4 overhead saw guard is integrated stylishly into the machine design. It is easy and convenient to use. The saw guard can be moved and tilted completely away from the machine area with just a flick of the wrist. The dust extraction hood adjusts itself automatically to the workpiece height and always provides optimal working safety and dust extraction performance.
Free cutting from the middle of the saw blade to the overhead saw guard support is 850 mm at the maximum cutting height. Depending on the cutting height and saw blade diameter, a free cut of up to 1060 mm can be achieved. Therefore long panels, e. g. kitchen work tops, can be cut with ease.
The overhead saw guard, with its striking design, runs on linear guides and thus helps to facilitate the height adjustment. The dust and shavings are sucked from the saw guard into the extraction pipe via a short hose.

The crosscut fence
For crosscuts between +45° and –45°, the crosscut fence is set with a mitre scale, which is integrated into the sliding table. Quick attachment without tools is made possible by a T-slot and quick coupling on the side of the sliding table. The mitre scale and the magnifying glass on the fence stop, readable from the operating area, allow you to make precise adjustments.
|
|
|
The electronic double mitre gauge
One of the valuable accessories in daily use on woodworking machines is the patented double mitre gauge from Format-4. It enables double mitre cuts on workpieces of different widths at
any angle.
The input of the workpiece widths A, B and the input of the desired frame angle, is carried out on the integrated computer via the keypad. The resulting settings appear correct to within a tenth of a degree on the display.
Just set the double mitre gauge at the calculated value and work away with a result of … pinpoint accuracy!
The fence stop on the fence plates can be adjusted up to 1350 mm with the scale. Depending on the set angles, the length compensating vernier scale is available. This feature also enables you to set the exact workpiece length when making mitre cuts.
|
|
|
Rip Fence for “X-Roll” Sliding Tables
The ideal accessory for parallel cuts on the sliding table! Take advantage of your sliding table and the outrigger together with the rip fence which guarantee the exact positioning of your workpiece. The rip fence is clamped to the sliding table. The integrated scale from 25 to 1000 mm is easily read through the lens.
