What are combination woodworking machines and what are used for?
Combination machines are versatile solutions that integrate multiple operations into a single unit: planing, cutting, drilling, routing, and, in some models, even edgebanding. SCM combination machines are designed to optimize space and investment, while delivering professional performance in both small workshops and semi-industrial environments.
What are the advantages of working wood with a combination machine?
Using a combination machine allows you to perform several operations with one unit, reducing setup times, space requirements, and overall costs. SCM combination machines ensure quick transitions between functions, maximum accuracy, and sturdy components built for long-lasting reliability.
SCM also includes professional wood lathes in its catalogue, ideal for producing turned elements such as columns, table legs, handles, cylindrical decorations, and components for furniture or artistic objects. SCM Minimax lathes stand out for their sturdiness and stability, ensuring extremely accurate machining.
How do you use a Minimax wood lathe?
After selecting the right tool for the type of turning (roughing, shaping, finishing), the wooden work-piece is locked between the spindle and the tailstock, making sure it is perfectly centered. Next, the tool rest is adjusted a few millimeters from the rotating piece and set at the correct height relative to the axis. The rest must be firm and stable to ensure controlled tool movement during machining. Once the rotation speed is set via the electronic variator, the work-piece can be shaped with smooth, progressive movements. Speed selection depends on the diameter and type of wood. Finally, regular cleaning, checking the spindle and supports, and following the maintenance instructions in the manual are recommended for safe, reliable operation.
