SCM Nova SI 400ep Sliding Table Saw

SCM Nova SI 400ep Sliding Table Saw
The SCM Nova SI 400ep is an advanced electronic sliding table saw designed for professional Australian joiners who require a blend of high-capacity cutting and automated precision. As the “ep” (electronic programmer) version, this machine minimises manual intervention, allowing for rapid changeovers and absolute repeatability when processing large-format panels and solid timber.

Automated Control with the EASY Touchscreen System The Nova SI 400ep is managed via an intuitive electronic control panel that automates the lifting and tilting of the saw blade. This system allows the operator to store frequently used cutting programs, significantly reducing setup times and ensuring that complex dimensions are achieved with digital accuracy every time.

Large 400 mm Blade Capacity for Thick Sections Designed for heavy-duty applications, this machine can accommodate a 400 mm diameter saw blade even with the scoring blade installed. This allows for a substantial cutting height of 140 mm at 90 degrees, making it suitable for thick solid wood sections as well as stacked sheet materials.

Patented Smooth-Action Sliding Carriage The 360 mm wide sliding carriage uses SCM’s legendary arch-ground steel guides. This mechanical system avoids the use of glue, which can degrade over time, instead using a riveting process to ensure the guides remain perfectly parallel. The result is a smooth, effortless glide that maintains industrial-level precision for the life of the machine.

Powered Rip Fence for Accurate Sizing Enhancing the “ep” automation, the machine features a motorised rip fence. Controlled from the overhead panel, the fence moves on a high-precision ball screw, allowing the operator to position it with a tolerance of 0.1 mm. This eliminates manual measurement errors and speeds up the sizing of wide panels.
