SCM Nova s 630 – Professional Thicknessing Planers
The SCM Nova s 630 represent the perfect balance between industrial-scale performance and essential simplicity for the Australian woodworking shop. These thicknessers are engineered to provide heavy-duty reliability, featuring massive cast-iron components that ensure absolute stability and a high-quality finish on both solid timber and composite boards.
Industrial Precision with Large Diameter Cutterblock Both the Nova s 630 are equipped with a 120 mm diameter cutterblock featuring 4 knives as standard. This high-mass design provides the rotational inertia necessary for a smooth, consistent cut even when processing wide slabs of dense Australian hardwoods. The result is a superior surface finish that reduces the need for heavy sanding.
Four-Column Table Support for Total Stability To maintain absolute parallelism between the worktable and the cutterblock, the table is supported by four large-diameter columns. This “four-poster” configuration eliminates table movement and vibration during the machining of heavy workpieces, ensuring that panels remain perfectly consistent in thickness from edge to edge.
Powered Table Movement with Digital Readout The Nova series features powered lifting of the worktable, controlled via an intuitive system that includes a digital readout for the working height. This allows the operator to set the thickness with sub-millimetre accuracy in seconds, significantly increasing productivity and repeatability in a busy joinery environment.
