With the new kappa 590, you can cancel the cutting height limit in your workshop. 202,0 mm at 90°, 140,8 mm at 45° and 118,7 mm cutting height at -45°, these are the new standards in the class of premium panel saws!
The highlight of the Format4 innovation forge: The new double-pivot circular saw unit. Pivoting in both directions (+/- 46) allows a completely new dimension in working with the panel saw:
- Mitre cuts of frame parts with continuously overhead visible side
- Complex compound cuts
- Grooves in a miter
- and many more.
You now no longer need to remove the scoring unit when using large diameter saw blades. At the touch of a button the new Format4 will park the scoring blade, leaving enough space for a large diameter blade, and in doing so saves valuable production time. Additionally the park position also protects the scoring blade from resin.
An alternative to the worldwide unique Format4 saw blade quick change system "Easy-lock" is now the "Quick-lock" clamping system, which with the use of just one tool makes it quick and easy to change the saw blade.
Every cut with the Format4 sliding table saw is a masterpiece of precision. For example, when cutting a pyramid, which is one of 18 predefined cutting programs.
Rabbets, grooves, notches, wrong mitre, rafter cut and various geometric shapes, in short videos we show you how it works: Enter workpiece shape and workpiece dimensions on the touch screen, follow the visual cutting plan - done.

*Please note that some of the cutting programmes shown are not possible on machines without double tilt.
The rip fence is positioned by a motor and runs via a dust-free integrated ball spindle in the saw table. The 1/10 mm precision, the high positioning speed, as well as the simultaneous positioning of the crosscut fence, saw blade height and saw blade angle ensure precision and save valuable working time.
- Optional with the x-motion
- Standard on the e-motion model
On demand, you can increase user-friendliness and shorten working distances with the ON and OFF buttons directly on the Format sliding table.
The integrated guide rollers of the outrigger table ensure an incredibly smooth operation upon maximum load capacity. The bearing rail is moved along a “X-Roll” guide and is fast and micro-adjustable. The LED display enables you to set the required angle to one tenth of a degree. The fence can be tilted to any position between -45° and +45° and guarantees precise mitre cuts.
On request, we’ll equip your Format4 with the digital telescopic fence. Below, you see the cleverly integrated electronic digital scale with values correct to 4/1000” (0.1 mm). Additional functions, for example the setting of successive measurements, make your daily working life easier.
The outrigger table can be swung out of the way with ease. You no longer have to worry about the hassle of mounting and dismounting the outrigger table. The swing away system of the outrigger table ensures extreme ease of use and at the same time can provide you with extra working space when you need it.
The handling of the overhead saw guard is simple and comfortable. The moveable extraction hood can be easily adjusted for pivoting in both directions without having to replace the hood.
The overhead saw guard can be unlocked with one movement and completely swung away from machine table area. If desired, the overhead saw guard can be unlocked directly via a lever on the hood.
Upon request we can equip your kappa with LED lighting and an integrated tool compartment for 4 saw blades with a diameter of max. 400 mm, 1 saw blade with a diameter of max. 550 mm and 2 splitters.
For the processing of non-ferrous metals, your Format4 can be fitted with spraying equipment. This enables high performance lubricating oil to be sprayed directly onto the sawblade.
One of the valuable accessories in daily use on woodworking machines is the patented double mitre gauge from Format4. It enables double miter cuts on workpieces of different widths at any angle. The input of the of the workpiece widths A, B and the input of the desired frame angle, is carried out on the integrated computer via the keypad. Das Einstellergebnis erscheint zehntelgradgenau am Display. Just set the double miter gauge at the calculated value and work away with results of … pinpoint accuracy! The fence stop on the fence plates can be adjusted up to 53 inches with the scale. Depending on set angles, the length compensating vernier scale is available. With this you can also set the exact workpiece length when angle cutting.
The convenient parts list holder with A4 clipboard is mounted on the overhead control panel, keeping your parts lists in sight at all times.
