A sliding table saw (Formatkreissäge) is a (much) bigger, professional version of a table saw.
It can be used for a variety of cuts. Most of these can also be made on other saws, but are much easier on the sliding table saw:
- Ripping This cut allows you to cut your workpiece to a specified width
- Straight line ripping (German: Besäumen) This cut allows you to create a straight edge e.g. on solid lumber. Always use the edging shoes when performing this cut!
- Crosscutting This cut allows you to cut your workpiece to a specified length
- Miter Cut This cut allows you to cut into your workpiece with a specific angle
- Hidden Cut This cut allows you to not cut through your entire workpiece by setting the sawblade to a height lower than the thickness of your workpiece

Fences
Caution: the sliding stop on the crosscut fence is bent so that workpieces of different thickness are stopped at slightly different lengths! The scale is only accurate for 9 mm workpieces at the moment (see do-something #305)
This tool is not ready for use yet since not all commissioning steps have been completed. The process is also tracked on GitHub. Feel free to contribute to making it usable, any help is very welcome!
