ALTENDORF Sliding table

Guide system used since 1956 for the roller table/sliding table on Altendorf sliding table saws.

Construction until about the middle of the 1990s

  • so-called pertinax guide: Two conically machined strips of hard paper (Pertinax) are riveted to both the movable roller table and the fixed table guide. A double roller (compare to the axes of railed vehicles) connects both workpieces. It allocates the load evenly and follows the track specified by the Pertinax strips. Individually adjustable, eccentrically mounted rollers on the underside of the roller table are used for an accurate setting of the table guide.

Further development: steel round rod guide

  • Considered an extremely stable, smooth-running and precise solution for the guide of sliding tables on sliding table saws.
  • Adopting the technical principle of the double roller, the pertinax guides were replaced by hardened steel round rods, which are pressed into the two halves of the table and thus permanently fixed.
