No reading errors due to scales and vernier. No time-wasting due to arduous approximations of angle values. The advantage of the FORMAT-4 degree index is that the stop is set and fixed without losing time or making reading errors.

The maximum power at a cutting height of 4.9“ is provided by strong motors up to 10 HP.
- Cutting height 5¼” with a 15¾”(400 mm) saw blade
- Electronic angle adjustment with digital LED display
- Zero point tilt
- Oversized saw arbor with double bearing seats
- Maximum motor power transfer with the Poly-V belt
- 3-speed: 3500/4500/5500 rpm
- Optimal extraction with the completely enclosed, below table extraction system
- Dovetail guidance system for height adjustment
- A highly robust synthetic material located in the guidance track of the tilting brackets, ensures they run smoothly and maintenance free even under the most extreme conditions. The tilt guide segment runs without lubrication and is insensitive to dust.

It is also possible to use a grooving cutter/dado with your Format-4 sliding table saw. Especially developed by Format-4, the cutter simply melts wood away. Massive in size and performance enabling cuts from ¼”–¾” (6.3–19.5 mm).

For operation of the scoring unit there are two versions available: 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: Electric scoring sawblade height-adjustment is done easily with a switch.  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. This is first class comfort!

- Extremely smooth sliding action, durable guiding system! Through the roller-bearing system no single point of contact.
- Absolutely warp resistant due to solid profile construction.
- Dust protected due to the special “12 fold” wiper system.: 4 wiping brushes, 8 silicon wipers
- Maintenance-free and dust protected due to covered guiding tracks positioned sideways on the inside.

On request we can equip your Format-4 with start buttons for the main and scoring blades located directly on the sliding table. How about that for convenience!

8 bearings ensure the integrated outrigger table with supporting arm has a smooth operation even with the maximum loading capacity. The workpiece roller at the end of the outrigger table guarantees easy loading of workpieces.

The 126” (3200 mm) long telescopic crosscut fence can be effortlessly adjusted from 90° to 45°. A miter scale on the outrigger table allows for accurate adjustments.

On request, we’ll equip your Format-4 with the digital telescopic fence. Below, you see the cleverly integrated electronic digital scale with values correct to 4/1000” (0.1 mm). Additional functions, for example the setting of successive measurements, make your daily working life easier.
The setting to a tenth of a millimeter (4/1000”) simplifies fine adjustment, optionally at the digitized telescopic fence or on the standard telescopic fence.

The crosscut fence is 43” (1100 mm) for crosscuts between +45° and –45°. The fence can be attached to the sliding table with out the use of tools. The positive stop provides you with the exact 90° position.

When working with narrow and thin cuts of wood with the saw blade tilted, the rip fence can be put in its lying position to improve operator comfort and avoid collision with the saw blade.
The rip fence can also be tilted underneath the table.
