No reading errors due to scales and vernier. No time-wasting with arduous approximations of angle values. The advantage of the ­FORMAT-4 degree index is that the stop is set and fixed without losing time or making reading errors.

Optimum power is provided by strong motors of up to 10 HP at a cutting height of 133 mm .
- Cutting height 133 mm with a 400 mm saw blade
- Electronic angle adjustment with digital LED display
- Zero point tilt
- Large dimensioned saw arbor with double bearing seats
- Maximum energy transfer with the large Poly-V belt ­bearing area
- 3-speed: 3500/4500/5500 rpm
- Optimal extraction with the completely enclosed, below table extraction system
- Dovetail guidance system for height adjustment
- A highly robust synthetic material located in the guidance track of the tilting brackets, ensures they run smoothly and are maintenance free even under the most extreme conditions. The tilt guide segment runs without lubrication and is insensitive to dust.

Slotting is possible with Format-4 panel sizing saws. The use of adjustable grooving tools, specifically developed by Format-4, can be used thanks to the removable circular saw flange and the table insert.

There are two versions available for the operation of the scoring unit: Classic or Automatic.

Classic: the height and lateral setting of the scoring blade is adjusted manually from the top of the saw unit table.
Automatic: electric scoring saw blade height adjustment is electrical, and the side adjustment is manual. When the scoring unit is switched on, the scoring blade rises to its pre-set position automatically. When the main blade is switched off, the scoring blade automatically sinks back under the table. This is first class comfort!

With the rotary adjustment switches on the operating panel you can adjust the sawblade height and angle in fast or creep speed with only a flick of the wrist! You can read the adjustment values easily and clearly from the red LED-Display. That’s a valuable standard feature and guarantees maximum user friendliness. The scoring blade height is also adjustable with the height adjustment switch.

With the “Digi-Drive” package you simply type in the required sawblade height and angle, press start and watch the sawblade adjust automatically. Naturally, settings can also be stored for future reference. When adjusting the tilt, the sawblade will remain at the pre-set height (automatic height compensation).

- Durable Format-4 linear guiding system! Through the roller-bearing system no single point of contact.
- Extremely warp resistant due to the solid profile construction.
- Dust protected due to the special “12-fold” wiper system.: 4 wiping brushes, 8 silicon wipers
- Maintenance-free and dust protected due to covered guiding tracks positioned sideways on the inside.

On request we can equip your Format-4 with start buttons for the main and scoring blades located directly on the sliding table. How about that for convenience?

The large outrigger table with workpiece supporting roller features, 8-ball bearing guide rollers on the outrigger arm ensure a smooth operation even under the maximum loading capacity.

The 3200 mm long telescopic crosscut fence can be effortlessly adjusted from 90° to 45°. A mitre scale on the outrigger table allows for accurate adjustments.

On request, we will equip your Format-4 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 setting to a tenth of a millimetre simplifies fine adjustment, either digitize the telescopic fence the standard fence or both.

The crosscut fence 1100 mm for crosscuts between +45° and –45°. The fence can be attached to the sliding table without the use of tools. The end stop provides you with the exact 90° position.

The single handed adjustment system ensures quick and accurate setting of the rip fence. A fine adjustment facility is included.
The rip capacity amounts to 800 mm or optionally
1250 mm. The easy to read rip scale is perfectly integrated into the saw table. The aluminium rip fence plate can be moved backwards to optimise the feed of workpieces.

When working with narrow and thin cuts of wood with the saw blade tilted, the rip fence can be placed face down to improve operator comfort and avoid collission with the saw blade.
The rip fence can also be tilted underneath the table.

The integration of the electronic digital display on the rip fence allows for the reading of the cutting width to one tenth of a millimetre. The display may be rotated up to 90° to suit the working position. Additional features, such as the adjustment of progressive measurements make your daily working life easier.
