Nick James Design has long trusted the precision and build quality of Altendorf panel saw technology, having been an Altendorf customer for many years. During a recent visit to the Altendorf facilities, Nick James saw the new HAND GUARD system up close and was particularly impressed by its early detection technology, which eliminates danger in a fraction of a second. Experiencing this innovation first-hand reinforced his respect for Altendorf’s commitment to safety, protecting the most important tools in his craft – his hands.
