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

This used sliding table saw from 1985 will be a great addition to our wood workshop after it receives some loving care!

We were able to afford this machine with donations from a past bonus program and a (still active!) betterplace campaign.

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)
