SCM Class Fixed Spindle Shaper - Class TF 130ps

The Class TF 130PS is the workhorse of the SCM shaper line. It has a very robust structure and all the controls can be accessed on the front of the machine for easy use. An integrated sliding table further increases the flexibility of this machine. A mechanical digital reader ensures the precision of the spindle adjustment.

Monoblock technology is used in the design and fabrication of this base . The solid, welded base undergoes a treatment call normalization which stabilizes the metal and assures exact tolerances. All machine mechanisms are mounted, aligned, and referenced to the base. This design is vastly superior to frames that are bolted together and have no true reference point.

One thing that can degrade the quality of finish from a shaper is the vibration transmitted from the spindle to the cutter. Minimizing vibration is even more critical when cutting tall profiles or using stacked tooling. SCM ensures maximum quality in its shapers by using very large spindle assemblies whereby the increased mass of the spindle absorbs vibrations and eliminates whipping action at the top of the spindle.

The Class TF 130PS has a 7” tool capacity under the nut. Coupled with the digital indicator for the spindle height, this makes the SCM shapers perfect for the use of stacked tooling. For example, many woodworkers use a tooling package consisting of three cutters for making cabinet doors. The stile, rail, and panel cutters are all mounted on the same spindle. By raising or lowering the spindle, it is possible to perform all three operations without changing the cutter or the spindle. The five speed spindle further increases tooling flexibility.

The Class TF 1 30PS has a unique integrated sliding table that is useful for tenoning and other small profile jobs. It is equipped with stops and hold-downs and can also be set at an angle.
