The Secret Behind the Immortality of KUSING Machinery
Or: The Story of How Dark Green Dominated Slovak Joinery Shops
A sliding table saw is the ultimate cornerstone of any woodworking shop—a machine without which no joiner can truly operate. KUSING’s dominance in this market segment is clearly proven by both the volume of units produced over the decades and the continuous demand for new machinery. Nothing brings us greater satisfaction than hearing woodworkers recount, with a smile, how they bought their very first KUSING panel saw years ago and still rely on it today. These stories sustained us through tough times and remain our driving motivation to serve you.
Back in 1991, following the fall of the regime, launching a production line focused on heavy-duty, honest sliding table saws was—looking back—the absolute best decision we could have made.
At the turn of the millennium and for many years after, a dark-green KUSING saw was a staple sight in virtually every Slovak woodworking shop.
Old, But Still Running Strong
It is fascinating to look at current secondhand machinery listings on platforms like Bazos (https://stroje.bazos.sk/drevoobrabacie/?hledat=kusing) you will frequently see these legacy green machines listed at prices exceeding 50% of their original purchase value—even for units manufactured well before 2005.
While auto industry reports frequently analyze how rapidly vehicles depreciate, a similar ranking for sliding table saws would undoubtedly place KUSING woodworking machinery right at the top of the board for value retention and durability.
