SCM Nova fs 520 – Combined Planer-Thicknesser

SCM Nova fs 520 – Professional Combined Planer-Thicknesser
The SCM Nova fs 520 is a heavy-duty combined machine that offers the performance of an industrial-scale surface planer and thicknesser in a single, space-saving unit. Engineered for the professional Australian joinery workshop, the Nova fs 520 features a massive 520 mm working width and a robust construction designed to handle the rigours of daily production while delivering a flawless finish on solid timber.

High-Rigidity Surfacing with Extra-Long Cast-Iron Tables To ensure the maximum level of flatness when jointing long and heavy timber sections, the Nova fs 520 is equipped with extra-long, precision-ground cast-iron tables. The heavily ribbed structure absorbs vibrations, providing a stable reference surface that is essential for achieving perfectly straight edges and flat faces on dense Australian hardwoods.

Simultaneous Table Lifting for Rapid Changeover Transitioning from surfacing to thicknessing is fast and effortless thanks to the simultaneous lifting of the worktables. This system ensures that the tables are moved out of the way in a single movement, with the dust extraction hood automatically positioning itself for the next operation. This efficiency is critical for maintaining workflow in a busy workshop.
