Sorry, Steve, it has its limits. But those fences, blade tilt, and cut stops are good
to 0.1 mm and the cross cut fence swings either way to 0.1 of a degree.
Plus I wimped out and only got the 7.5 HP model, but it can rip an honest 8".

Reilly,
I'm studying a similar purchase. Did you consider an Altendorf? If so, what made the decision for you?

Guido, we know yer woodworking skills are majorly mad but now yer a master
stone mason, too? Such a Renaissance man, mon ami!
Urizen, nothing wrong with an Altendorf but IMHO Martin combines the reliability
of a Porsche with the badazzery of a Ferrari. Besides, the cheaper
Altendorfs are made in China now IIRC. Martin is making some nice
slightly less pricey models these days plus with the decline of the Euro
you should be able to negotiate a really good price. I'm very good friends
with the Cali Martin rep. You can email me at snekker49 at gmail and I'll
hook you up.
BTW, if you look at the first pick you will see a short 'outrigger' with
another gizmo on top of it. The 'outrigger' supports the plywood. That
'gizmo' (I forget the name) is a sort of mini-crosscut fence that allows
you to rip narrow strips or long angled strips accurately and safely. It's
about $500 but I would sell you mine for half that. I sold my saw a few
years ago when I closed my shop but I didn't let that go when I sold the saw.
Also, you can see that I had the electric cross cut fence. It is really
pricey but I had to have it. Truth be told the manual fence is not that
much slower and just as accurate. The other must have is the pneumatic
hold-down setup. For ripping narrow stuff it is Da Bomb, especially for
safety. The last must have is the electric scoring saw. It adjusts the
kerf electrically by 0.1 mm steps to match the main blade's width! It is
unbelievably cool.
Lastly, I should mention that my friend is also the Striebig rep. If you
are gonna do a lot of cabinetry you should seriously consider a Striebig.
It is so much faster than even the Martin at busting up plywood. I would
honestly say you can cut three sheets up with the Striebig to one on the
Martin. The Striebig also takes up a fraction of the space. If you're
gonna do more hardwood stuff then get the Martin.

If you can guess what this is for, you're a kooky genius.

We gave an ugly block building a new face with sand cast thin brick from Idaho. I carefully laid out the detail work to minimize cuts.
I love the kiddie loft!
