The Altendorf WA 80 comes in two variants, the WA 80 TE and the WA 80 X. Both of these sliding table saws offer the same advantages over manual sawing and have the same width and height dimensions. The pair are closely associated in terms of price and can be used in similar settings. In fact, they also come supplied with some great features which they both share.

Although these are referred to as Altendorf basics, many of them are much more than mere entry-level features. For example, each has a digital display to show the tilt angle the blade has been set at so you do not need to constantly monitor this in a manual sense. Indeed, there is a motorized rise and fall adjustment system for the main saw blade that comes as standard – a technology that can also be used to alter the angle of the blade without the need for any manual controls.

In addition, when the crosscut fence is fixed at a right angle, there is the possibility to operate the manual adjustment system using a graduated scale of up to 3,200 mm, which is more than enough for most woodworking firms, to say the least. Lastly, the 4 kW power output of both the WA 80 Altendorf sliding table saws means that 4,000 RPMs can be generated when the workpiece makes contact with the blade, helping to ensure precise cutting every time.

​

The Altendorf WA 80 TE is a machine that offers a great deal of dependability, for example, by offering a rip fence cutting width of 1,000 mm, which can be adjusted with ease. An additional floor support option means that it can handle workpieces with a greater length - up to 4,300 mm - but even without this accessory, a very respectable sliding table length of 3,400 mm is possible. A RAPIDO scoring system with a generous adjustment range is one of the popular accessories for the Altendorf WA 80 TE and this can be backed up by a handy LED illumination system, too, if wanted. Furthermore, you can opt for a laser cutting line marker for this Altendorf machine, as well, another way of ensuring accuracy is maintained at all times.

​

The Altendorf WA 80 X: Looking for a machine that is a little different for the price you pay for it? If so, then the Altendorf WA 80 X may well be for you. It has a CNC-controlled rip fence rather than a manual one. It also offers an eye-level control panel, which is a big advantage in some furniture manufacturing plants. This machine offers operators the chance to use on/off switches on the sliding table itself. In addition, the  Altendorf WA 80 X can be supplied with a pneumatic hold-down beam for its sliding table, which helps operators to ensure their workpieces make perfect contact with the fast-spinning blade more easily. A single-sided miter fence is another accessory worth mentioning plus the range of DUPLEX double-sided miter fences, some of which can be adjusted digitally. Lastly, there is a PALIN parallel cutting device that you can choose to invest in, too, an accessory that can be utilized with the machine seamlessly and fine-tuned with ease for different sorts of cutting tasks.
