That hand guard was amazing! And the demonstrator had total confidence - he wasn't even looking! I'll never be in a position to justify a saw like that but I really appreciate fine engineering.

[@FinishCarpentryTV]

Super cool. Thanks for sharing.

[@ManorWood]

Thanks for watching!

[@NSResponder]

Those wooden prototypes show exceptional cleverness on Mr. Altendorf's part. He's right up there with the top inventors of all time in my book.

[@briannelson4122]

What a great tour! The old saws and the new technology is awesome! Very cool!

[@karstenlund-tiger900bonded2]

Worlds best sliding saw. Period. And Markus is brilliant btw

[@christopherinteriors6521]

Thank you for such a great video. I love seeing the early basic versions of modern machines and how they have progressed. It is amazing to see how great wooden machines were. That wooden panel saw that with all the mood movement/expansion/contraction etc still manages to slide like butter!

[@stevend9960]

What a fascinating video!

[@kymmarshall1116]

Really enjoyed the video, thanks 👍🏾🇦🇺

[@acerjuglans383]

I've used maybe 7 sliding saws in my life, and luckily Altendorf was one of them. And it was the BEST of them. It was a joy just to change the blade.

[@vulgarwoodworks]

I got to see the Felder version of their "finger saver" technology, and it also quite impressive. Having a Hammer K3 myself, I could see making the jump to a saw with that technology. Very cool behind the scenes look at the history.

[@AndreaArzensek]

I have the Felder K700 (around 8k euros), but the one with finger protection really bumps in the price. I don't think they run under 30k Euros.

[@vulgarwoodworks]

@Andrea's Workshop so true. You can save quite a lot of cash (and hopefully fingers) with proper and safe techniques. Fancy saws though.

[@paulmacey9084]

wow thank you really enjoyed their one

[@johnsanchez1619]

Great video! I love tools and technology, and I really enjoyed seeing their early models. Also, the new safety system is impressive. It is great to see the safety technology develop. Cheers!

[@ManorWood]

I loved the old machine as well , was very cool

[@WalterMitty1966]

Awesome vid , thanks. Cheers Phil

[@bertmacdonald337]

Very interesting, nice one Andy !

[@BischBaschBosch]

Awesome video mate. Very interesting. 👍

[@marcinkosin7107]

Amazing!!! Great machine and video!!!

[@ManorWood]

Thank you very much!

[@l.k.1011]

Very impressive technology.

[@antonoat]

Fascinating stuff, I can't help but think these are seriously complicated machines just for cutting a piece of wood, lol showing my ignorance here ! I do prefer their solution of removing danger by lowering the blade, the Sawstop solution always makes me think too close for comfort! the Looking forward to your new workshop walk around, it will be an education for me! Thanks for sharing the factory tour! Cheers.

[@acerjuglans383]

If you stood at a machine all day long, 5 days a week, handling large heavy sheet goods by yourself, knowing that you are the first and last line of defence in the precision of the product you're manufacturing for a customer's hard earned money.....you'd understand you're not just cutting a piece of wood.

[@scottearlsmithFTC]

I have been absolutely binge watching your channel since it popped up on my feed about 5 days ago. Love it! I've got a fledgling channel similar to yours but without the dream shop and awesome machinery. Just amazing content. I also like your attitude about owning great machinery and tools. Basically if it makes you more competitive and gets the job done with a little more precision - why not? My limitation is the size of my shop, but I make the best of it. Contemplating a Zeta at the moment. Well done mate.

[@BK-Woods]

Great video Lad

[@alessandrosuppini943]

Thank you, very interesting stuff indeed 👍

[@ralphpavero7760]

Loved it thank you

[@StripLV]

Cool!.you where in Minden.. I also know Markus and about 6 other people working there. Have met them many times.I have also a F45 fully loaded (CNC and so on). I have the PQS Miter Fence. Also in the middle but CNC and the angle is shown on the display of the Elmodrive. The Team is amazing.

[@ManorWood]

Epic , set up you have !!

[@StripLV]

@@ManorWood Thanks. I also have the Vakuum and the Airtable. I don't know the correct English words but I guess you know what I mean. I love it. Only the Display and Software is terrible. So outdated... from 2006. I love the Martin and also the Felder much more.

[@NSResponder]

The SawStop technology is a great idea, but this is clearly superior.

[@GK-ye3fr]

Great video

[@NickJamesFurnitureMaker]

Great video! Was a great couple of days + you explained pained it all really well. You getting a new saw then?

[@mariushegli]

I have nothing to say really, but I appreciate your content, and wish to help with the yt-algorithms.

[@AndreaArzensek]

Fantastic saws from Altendorf! I have a Felder, but I wouldn't mind exchanging for one of these :) One important note: Your audio is bad as you have pointed throughout the video, but adding the music makes it much worse. Lower to a minimum or get rid of the music all together, it isn't needed and it makes it harder to hear what you and others want to say. This is no hate, just feedback.

[@MrZOMBIE170]

the man from Altendorf might want to look at a history books as he says at 6:50 that the saw as made in 1906 and then at 7:57 he says the reason the saw was made with wooden because it was time of world war number one he's 8 years to early for world war one it started in 1914 a thing a germen should know

[@michael.knight]

Great video, interesting to see those original panel saws were made from wood. Hope this is the first in a series! Next up Felder and SCM factories?

[@ManorWood]

If I get an invite, I will take you all along :)

[@aaronoconnor606]

Wish I could afford one amazing tool

[@BK-Woods]

I’m contemplating to either go with the F45 Elmo-drive Control with the handguard option. Or the Felder Kappa 550X with the PCS The Felder delivers more Bang for the buck 😢

[@Will-cl1ve]

Cool machines and a nice video, but if your talking about the tool that changed everything, then it’s surely the battery drill no?

[@Will-cl1ve]

Imagine what life in woodworking was like before the planer thicknesse

[@dougsaunders8109]

Lovely German engineering. Germans are good at investing in their home grown industries 👍🏻

[@OneSingleBreath]

Not in general, anymore. Sadly.

[@jeffk464]

We had one of these in a cabinet class. It's one impressive machine, but no hobby saw.

[@ManorWood]

WA6 , cover hobby to pro that another cracker 👍

[@zorkabaljak3919]

The author does like to from scratch, kzbin.infoUgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6wJO shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. As another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us don’t have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we won’t be able to practise the full stack project, is still great.

[@Arfabiscuit]

Vorsprung durch technik .

[@lundqvistmachinsnickeri]

A lot of strange statements here. Altendorf did not invent the sliding table 1906, that has been around since at least 1851 with J. A. Fay & Co and in Sweden Jonsered and other makers made them from 1879. Same with the roller on steel rods, that is an old standard from 1880 and available in Europe and US before the time of Altendorf.

[@Attraktor63]

Ok, so what is your source of information that J. A. Fay & Co, etc. were making sliding table saws before Altendorf? I cannot find any information on this. If you go to the Wiki for Panel Saws, you only see Altendorf mentioned as the inventor. Just so we're clear, we're talking about a "sliding table saw", right? Please give us some more information about your claims, including sources.

[@ManorWood]

Hmm I never know that

[@an2thea514]

1906 is the year Altendorf registered his company, not the year he first built his machines.

[@lundqvistmachinsnickeri]

@@Attraktor63 Well I for one does not only look at wiki pages, I look in old catalogues and books. Also I usually look at my sliding tables from 1898 when I work making my living as a cabinet maker

[@kevinbasto5611]

These Guys reached their peak in about 2015-2016, Altendorf is just a name now.

[@andrzej3511]

The inventor of the circular saw is Sarah "Tabitha" Babbitt!!!!! Although she did not patent any of her inventions, the fact is documented as the world's first water-powered circular saw. It is true that some claim that Sarah "Tabitha" Babbitt is not the inventor. However, the second truth is that many more inventions and innovative designs appeared in her environment. This fact seems to support the thesis that Sarah "Tabitha" Babbitt is the original inventor. So it is CERTAINLY NOT the Altendorf company that invented the circular saw. It is also NOT the inventor of the sliding saw.
