A fully featured Altendorf.
What to do when one has little space, plus a limited budget, but quality must still be maintained? When these requirements must be met by a sliding table saw, Altendorf’s answer is: an Altendorf WA 6.
WA 6
The WA 6 is the smallest Altendorf there is. But in spite of its smaller dimensions, its considerable abilities are impressive: with its powerful range of equipment, it stands out even in the smallest space. Outstanding for its cut quality and its flexibility in everyday use. And just as outstanding is the price. So what else is there to be concerned about?
Standard Equipment
 | Sliding table.The proven Altendorf sliding table with steel bar guidance.The machine can be supplied with 1600, 2000 or 2600 mm table. |
 | Rip fence.The rip fence, smooth and precise. Cutting width: 1000 mm |
 | Crosscut-mitre fence.Crosscut mitre-fence: for accurate angle and mitre cutting in a single function. Cutting lenghts: 105-2600 mm. Mitre angle infinitely adjustable from 0-49°. |
 | Manual tilt adjustment.Manual with hand wheel, tilt angle indicated on a scale. From 0 - 45°. |
 | Manual rise / fall adjustment.Manual with hand wheel. |
 | Scorer.The scorer. Seperate 0.37 kW scoring motor with on/off switch. |

Optional Equipment
 | RAPIDO scoring systemThe scorer ensures chip-free undersides when working with laminated panels. The RAPIDO system makes adjusting the cutting width straightforward and enables this step to be completed in no more than three minutes. This can save you up to 10 minutes as compared with conventional scorer systems because it does away with the tedious process of mounting two-part scorer blades with spacer disks entirely. Adjustment is continuous and precise, so the RAPIDO can be fine-tuned to match the cutting width of any main blade. Range: 2.8 - 3.8 mm. |
 | DUPLEX double-sided mitre fenceDUPLEX fences make it possible to make mitre cuts at any angle between 0 and 90° with speed and precision. At 45° a mitre cut can be made on both sides of the workpiece without moving the fence. Dimensions are set using a magnifier, a measuring scale and a length compensation scale for frequently recur-ring angles. |
 | Parallelogram protection device (PSV)The PSV is supplied with a narrow hood for 90 ° cuts and a wide hood for mitred cuts. They cover both the main and the scoring saw blade. The hood can be adjusted steplessly and self-locking to the respective material thickness. Exhaust connection: 80 mm |
