If your sick of “lesser” quality brands look no further. This is a great place to start. This minimax tw 45c shaper offers a lot of “refinement” and quality at it’s price point.
This is an amazing bargain that is well thought out, 1/1/4″ spindle powered by a 4 hp 230V single phase motor. It is a braking motor featuring forward and reverse. Multiple spindle speeds of 4,200, 8,400, and 12,000 RPM. A very high quality, smooth sliding table with a stout material hold down. An angle fence with pin sets at 22.5, 30, 45, 60, and 0 degrees with 2 built in flip stops and a backer for tenons. Like ALL SCMI machines you will find a very nicely machined top with a beautiful relief pattern. A sturdy cast hand wheel that will allow for 2mm’s of elevation with each 360 degree turn. Plus details that few notice like the quality of the buttons, emergency stop, and the motor starter. It’s actually hard to believe this is an entry level shaper. Then again it is made with pride by SCM in Italy!
The spindle shaper, with sliding table and fixed or tilting spindle (special order), versatile and easy to use, ideal for D.I.Y. woodworkers and craftsmen.
