Altendorf at IWF 2026 in Atlanta.

Experience hands-on machine solutions built with – and for – North American shops. Now under one strong brand: Altendorf.

120 Years of Altendorf. From pioneer to the craftsman’s best friend.

Since 1906, Altendorf has set the standard for sliding table saws – machines used in everyday craftsmanship around the world. What began as engineering pioneership is today a partnership promise: machines, services, and software built for real shop floors. Precise. Reliable. Connected.

In the U.S., Altendorf America has been the local face of that promise since 1984. We bring German manufacturing quality to North American workshops – backed by a team that knows your shop, your tolerances, and your timelines.

All Machines. One brand. Altendorf.

Sliding table saws. Edgebanders. Digital solutions. All under one name in North America and always have been: Altendorf.
From the first cut to the perfect edge, one system, one signature.

What this means for you:

A unified design and operating concept across every machine
Clear communication, clear positioning, clear quality promise
One brand. One contact. One promise – Altendorf.

Service that lives where you are.

Mooresville, North Carolina. Parts that ship next-day. A service team that knows your machine by its serial number. When something on the floor needs attention, you don’t call Germany – you call Mooresville.

What you’ll see live at booth B7972

HAND GUARD – Safety Reimagined

The world’s first AI-supported optical safety assistance system, built into a sliding table saw from the ground up. Recognizes hands before contact, slows or stops the blade, helps to protect what matters – operator, machine, and workpiece.

ISSA Safety Award winner
A purpose-built sliding table saw – HAND GUARD is its own machine, not an add-on
Up to 8″ (204 mm) cutting height · up to 16′ 5″ (5,000 mm) cutting length

HAND GUARD: The Next Level of Safety

With the latest advancement of HAND GUARD, we present the next generation of our optical safety assist system – specifically designed to meet the requirements of professional woodworking.

The optimized infeed area enables even more comfortable and controlled handling of workpieces. For clearly defined applications, the safety function can be temporarily deactivated, providing additional flexibility in the workflow. A smooth shutdown process reduces mechanical stress on system components and contributes to the long-term protection of the technology.

Thanks to the expanded AI data base, detection quality has been further enhanced and unintended activations are significantly reduced. In addition, precise laser marking clearly defines the HAND GUARDing Zone, ensuring maximum transparency in the safety-relevant area.
