Now in Our Showroom: Precision and Protection from Altendorf

Two of Altendorf’s most advanced machines have just arrived in our showroom — ready for hands-on demonstration and poised to bring industry-leading safety, precision, and performance to your operation.

Founded in 1906 and headquartered in Minden, Germany, Altendorf is a world market leader specializing in sliding table saws and edgebanders. With these cutting-edge machines now in our showroom, we can offer exciting new solutions for your industrial woodworking applications.

“We’re always looking for equipment that delivers true value to our customers,” says AW Machinery CEO Isaac Roth. “Altendorf’s machines are built to last, easy to use, and backed by thoughtful engineering. That’s exactly the kind of partner we want.”

At the moment, AW Machinery is proud to feature two Altendorf machines on its showroom floor — the HAND GUARD sliding table saw and the HEBROCK F 5 edgebander.

HAND GUARD

Altendorf’s HAND GUARD sliding table saw features a state-of-the-art Optical Safety System that uses two cameras and AI recognition to detect when an operator’s hands move too close to the blade — prompting the blade to stop and retract in just 0.25 seconds. It’s a safety innovation Altendorf calls “the fastest guardian angel in the world.”

Operators also benefit from LED lighting on the machine that glows green when hands remain at a safe distance from the blade. The lighting turns orange to caution users when their hands near the blade, and red when danger is imminent, prompting the blade to drop and stop.  

“Altendorf has been the industry benchmark for sliding table saws for decades,” says Roth. “Their machines are second to none in quality of build, and the innovation behind the HAND GUARD safety system is a game changer. We know it is a perfect fit for our customers and our showroom.”

HEBROCK F 5 EDGEBANDER

The second Altendorf machine in our showroom is the HEBROCK F 5 — a high-performance edgebander that delivers flawless edge finishing across a wide range of materials—including blockboards, chipboard, MDF, multiplex, and solid wood.

The HEBROCK F 5 can edge 10 meters in one minute and is easy to operate, thanks to its 15” LED touchscreen with its easy-to-read display and integrated 3D feature. 

Notable features include:

• WhisperCut pre-milling cutter with interchangeable diamond points

• Cross-cut saw and milling unit

• Flat scraper with dual keying

• Radius scraper

• Release-agent spraying unit

• Interchangeable glue pot that heats in just 3.5 minutes
