SCM Nova SI 4k Sliding Table Saw

SCM Nova SI 4k Sliding Table Saw
The SCM Nova SI 4k is a high-specification circular saw designed specifically for the Australian woodworking sector, offering a perfect balance between industrial power and compact efficiency. Ideal for boutique joinery shops and high-end furniture makers, this machine is engineered to deliver a flawless finish on a variety of materials, including solid timber, veneered panels, and laminates.

Versatile 400 mm Blade Capacity The Nova SI 4k accommodates a 400 mm diameter saw blade simultaneously with the scoring blade. This allows for a substantial cutting height of 140 mm at 90 degrees and 97 mm at 45 degrees, providing the capacity needed to process thick hardwood sections or multiple stacked panels with absolute precision.

Patented Sliding Table with Arch-Ground Steel Guides The sliding carriage features SCM’s world-renowned arch-ground steel guides, which are fixed using a mechanical riveting process rather than adhesives. This ensures the carriage maintains its accuracy and smooth glide over decades of use, resisting the wear and tear common in high-production Australian workshops.

Dedicated Power with Independent Scoring Motor To guarantee a chip-free finish on delicate melamine and decorative veneers, the Nova SI 4k is equipped with an independent scoring motor as standard. By separating the scoring power from the main 7 kW motor, the machine ensures maximum torque is always available for the primary blade during heavy-duty ripping.

Rigid Cast-Iron Structure for Vibration Damping The internal saw unit is constructed from a heavy-duty, closed-loop cast-iron casting. This robust design provides exceptional torsional rigidity, effectively absorbing vibrations to ensure that the blade remains perfectly stable, resulting in a superior surface finish and consistent dimensional accuracy.

“READY” Electronic Control for Streamlined Workflow The Nova SI 4k often comes equipped with the “READY” electronic control system. Featuring a clear LCD screen, this system automates the positioning of the saw blade height and tilt. This digital integration reduces manual setup time and eliminates the risk of operator error, making it easier to switch between different cutting tasks.

Advanced Safety and Dust Extraction Operator safety is a priority, with a two-position overhead blade guard that adjusts to the thickness of the workpiece. This system provides maximum protection while optimising dust extraction at the source, helping to maintain a cleaner and healthier working environment in the factory.
