Professional Tool Reviews for Pros
Rolling solidly into the category of “Life-Changing Tools” is the K 940 S Felder sliding table saw. In case the Felder name is new to you, it’s an Austrian brand under the Felder Group that also includes Format 4 (high-end CNC), Hammer (more affordability for smaller shops), Nr.1 Machine Market (used machinery marketplace), and Silent-Power (carbide spiral cutterblocks).
Felder specializes in combining excellent ease of use with “perfect results” for Pro-level woodworking.
If you’re looking at a Felder sliding table saw, it’s likely in part due to their promise of incredible precision and ease of use. While the full feature set that backs up those claims are much greater than the scope of this article, you’ll notice things like a remote start for cutting or scoring on the end of the table so you don’t have to walk back to the saw to start it. The height and bevel of the blade have digital adjustments so there’s no guesswork on your part. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg – there are plenty of upgrades to increase its usefulness and value in your shop.
Moving into the sliding table saw sector from a cabinet saw with add-on rollers give you an additional layer of safety to go along with the easier use. Since your material is completely supported by the table, a one-man team can easily slide the workpiece across without having to figure out how to catch it on the other side of the cut.
