RUWI for sliding table saw

Brief description

A particularly high number of accidents sliding table saw at the sliding table saw in the woodshop. It is one of the most dangerous machines in the workshop—and things get especially critical when working with narrow workpieces. If the width is less than 120 millimeters, your hand will inevitably come close to the blade. That’s exactly where it gets dangerous.

The RUWI Premium RUWI takes a different approach: You clamp the workpiece tool-free the sliding carriage tool-free and guide it past the blade. Your hand stays out of the danger zone—even when cutting small, narrow, or angled pieces. Tested by the German Social Accident Insurance Association for the Wood and Metal Industries (BGHM) and awarded the DGUV seal of approval.

What sets this apart from the Classic is how you trim long workpieces. You clamp the plank with two swivel clamps at the front and back simultaneously. This way, it won't tip or shift during the first cut. The pointed tips of the narrow auxiliary stops grip the wood precisely, preventing any slipping under feed pressure. This lets you trim a crooked oak plank by yourself – no second person, no makeshift support needed.

Everything is set up in about 10 seconds. The components are hung within easy reach on wall panel the saw. The swivel arms fit onto the respective sliding carriages—compatible with Altendorf, Format 4, Martin, Felder X-Roll, and Hammer Series 3. Other machines available upon request.

Many carpenters safely cut small pieces using “Fritz und Franz,” the sawing aid from the employers’ liability insurance association. It’s tried-and-true and affordable. The RUWI takes it two steps further: tool-free clamping in seconds instead of screws—and the ability to trim long planks, something “Fritz und Franz” can’t do.

The Premium is the ideal choice for workshops that handle a wide variety of workpieces, as well as for schools and training facilities with high safety standards. If you mainly cut small, narrow parts, the Classic model is often sufficient. It can be upgraded later with a second swivel clamp to upgrade it to the Premium version.
