Seems a little lonely there. Be nice to it and give it some sawdust.

There's no way I could walk away with out pressing the green button!!

This thing is a joy to work with compared to the old Altendorf it replaced. It took us some time to square it up the best we could but now there's only a 0.5 mm deviation over the entire length of the sliding table, not too shabby. I especially like the operating panel. You just enter your numbers, push enter and the machine sets itself up. The company made a very good purchase.

What's the brand of the panel saw?

Lemwise · « **Reply #7 on:** March 21, 2016, 04:26 PM »

It's a Robland. That's a Belgian manufacturer.

Does it have a self feeder by any chance?

I love these things. This is my desktop wallpaper and is probably as close as I will get.

Jinkies! What's the USD$ tag for that bad boy. I need to know how
much way more i'd have to go. And cut holes in garage door & back wall for slider.

Very nice! Same for the Martin

Who ! This is an awesome machine

The european price is 16900 € ... Not for home use

Nice machine!

How old was that Altendorf? You can buy a secondhand Altendorf, couple of years old for the same price as that Robland new. And if was up to me, I would buy the used Altendorf.
I think you get more bang for the buck.

As for the Martin, I have a Martin T72A from 1997 bought it 6 months ago for €5000. Digital readouts, automatic height and blade tilting and an automatic fence, great machine!
So maybe in a couple of years you can get that saw from your wallpaper secondhand!

Lemwise:
what specific features does this Robland have that your "old" Altendorf did not have? (how "old" ?)

The wall behind the saw looks weird. Never seen blocks that big.

I think this was the perfect sliding saw made.

Lbob131 · « **Reply #19 on:** May 29, 2016, 09:57 AM »

That's a heavyweight. Would the slider not get tiresome pushing all that weight day in, day out?

Glides with one finger.

Wonderful example of 70's German engineering.

I thought the same thing! Maybe they are normal cinderblocks and the panel saw is really just a tiny machine!!
