43011-grosse-schnitthoehe.png

The  highlight of the Format4 innovation forge: The new double-pivot circular saw unit. Pivoting in both directions (+/- 46) allows a completely new dimension in working with the panel saw:

  • Mitre cuts of frame parts with continuously overhead visible side
  • Complex compound cuts 
  • Grooves in a miter
  • and many more.
43012-schwenkung-Kreissaegeblatt.png

The clamping system is maintenance free and offers premium comfort for many years: Change saw blades and riving knives effortlessly and literally in the blink of an eye.

The scoring unit blade width and height adapt automatically to the stored tool information and also to the respective teeth width of the main saw blade. Any changes to these standard scoring settings can be saved and retrieved when using the same tool in the future.
52871-Vorritzaggregat-control.png

Removing the scoring blade when using large diameter saw blades is no longer necessary! The new Format4 parks the scoring blade at the touch of a button, leaving enough space for a large diameter blade, and in doing so, saves valuable production time. The park position also protects the scoring unit from dirt and resin build-up.

920-vorritzerparkposition.png
A red LED strip immediately signals the operation of the scoring unit and offers even more working safety. (Option)
9000-vorritzer-betriebsanzeige.png

Quick and easy blade change with only one tool, thanks to the „Quick-Lock“ system.

1938-quicklock.png

Every cut with the Format4 sliding table saw is a masterpiece of precision. For example, when cutting a pyramid, which is one of 18 predefined cutting programs.

Rabbets, grooves, notches, wrong mitre, rafter cut and various geometric shapes, in short videos we show you how it works: Enter workpiece shape and workpiece dimensions on the touch screen, follow the visual cutting plan - done.

The rip fence is positioned by a motor and runs via a dust-free integrated ball spindle in the saw table. The 1/10 mm precision, the high positioning speed, as well as the simultaneous positioning of the crosscut fence, saw blade height and saw blade angle ensure precision and save valuable working time.

  • Optional with the x-motion
  • Standard on the e-motion model
1018-parallelanschlagmitpositioniersteuerung.png
Generously dimensioned and designed for the highest loads, "floats" the aluminum format sliding table on “X-Roll”, a highly developed, modern Guide technology for Format4 format sliding tables. Through the x-shaped (“X-Roll”) arrangement of the rollers distributes the occurring pressure load optimal in all directions. The linear support of the steel rollers the hardened and ground guide surfaces guarantee unrivaled precision and smoothness. "X-Roll" ensures you the quality and precision that you expect from your new sliding table saw. And here's another one Reason to choose Format-4: underline 10 years factory warranty the reliability of "X-Roll".

1941-mehrfacharretierung.png

The 8x ball bearings, integrated guide rollers and bearings of the outrigger table ensure an incredibly smooth operation upon maximum loading capacity. The support rail is moved along an “X-Roll” guiding system and is fast and fine-adjustable. The LED display enables you to set the required angle to one tenth of a degree. The fence can be tilted to any position between -45° and +45° and guarantees precise mitre cuts.

The digital angle and length compensation module "digi-compensation plus" for "X-Roll" or the outrigger table parallelogram, compensate any length deviations occuring during angle adjustment of the crosscut fence. The direct communication with the controls, also enables it to compensate the fence position of the crosscut stop to the width of the tooth and the tilt of the saw blade. This ensures that you always get an exact measurement without any recalibration when using different saw blades.

1493-digicompensation.png

Infinite adjustment range –46 bis +46°. The LED display enables you to set the required angle to one tenth of a degree. Mitre length compensation is done via the vernier scale with the standard fence, with the CNC crosscut fence the length compensation is automatic.

968-parallelogramm-auslegertisch.png

On request, we will equip your Format4 with the digital telescopic fence. Below, you see the cleverly integrated electronic digital scale with values correct to 0.1 millimeter. Additional functions, for example the setting of successive measurements, make your daily working life easier.

The telescopic fence enables crosscuts of up to 3200 mm. Top class engineering and ease of use are features which are a part of the standard equipment. The scale inclined towards the operating side and the read-out lens on the fence stop ensure precise settings.

The crosscut fence on the outrigger table can be easily and quickly tilted variably from zero to 45°. The large dimensioned, ergonomic clamping lever can be used at every angle.

1937-arretierhebel (2).png

The outrigger table can be swung out of the way with ease! No more time consuming, complicated assembling and removing of the outrigger table. The outrigger table swing away system ensures extreme ease of use and at the same time can provide you with extra working space when you need it. Back-friendly ergonomic work is also guaranteed.

43036-Fernentriegelung.png
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 that help 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.

    1942-auflage-auslegertisch.png

    For crosscuts between +45° and –45°, the crosscut fence is set with a mitre scale, which is integrated into the sliding table. The T-slot and lateral holders on the format sliding table allow for quick assembly without tools. The mitre scale and the magnifying glass on the fence stop, readable from the operating area, allow you to make precise adjustments.

    kappa550_ablaenganschlag.png
    The ideal accessory for parallel cuts on the sliding table. Use your sliding table and the outrigger together with the rip fence to guarantee an exact workpiece positioning. The rip fence is clamped to the sliding table. The integrated scale from 25 to 1000 mm can be easily read through a lens.
    kappa550_parallelanscchlag-fuer-formatschiebetische.png

    One of the valuable accessories in daily use on woodworking machines is the patented double mitre gauge from Format4. 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.

    At last: quick, comfortable and effortless, removal and installation of your outrigger table with the help of the transport and mounting unit. Another positive aspect: your outrigger can be conveniently stored away!
