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

It's weekend now. It will get its first use on monday

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]

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

Does it have a self feeder by any chance?

 

[alkaline]

Great machine.  [thumbs up]

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  [eek]

The european price is 16900 € ... Not for home use  [tongue]

 

[Mettes]

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.

 

[WarnerConstCo.]

I think this was the perfect sliding saw made.

 

[Lbob131]

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