Class Si 550EP

Overview

The Class Si 550EP is a sliding table saw purpose-built for precision cross-cutting and ripping operations in solid wood processing. Its 550 mm blade diameter and sliding table mechanism enable repeatable, high-accuracy cuts across a range of stock dimensions, making it a core machine for mills and workshops requiring both flexibility and consistency in primary breakdown and dimensioning tasks. The machine's technical foundation centers on its dual cutting width capacity (1000 mm or 1500 mm on the rip fence) and generous squaring envelope (up to 3800 x 3200 mm), supported by a three-phase motor starting at 7 kW (8 kW available). Blade projection reaches 200 mm at 90° and 130 mm at 45°, accommodating angled cuts and thick solid wood stock typical in European and specialty hardwood processing. The flexible squaring capacity allows operators to handle both narrow component ripping and full-panel cross-cutting without repositioning, reducing changeover time and material waste. The Class Si 550EP serves medium-scale production workshops and small industrial operations processing solid hardwoods, softwoods, and engineered lumber blanks. It is particularly suited for operations handling stock ranging from rough-sawn timbers to partially dressed boards destined for furniture frames, cabinet sides, and architectural components. The machine's throughput capacity and precision make it ideal for contract milling, architectural millwork shops, and integrated sawmills requiring dependable secondary breakdown after primary milling.

Applications

custom millwork

Medium workshop

Architectural and bespoke millwork shops use the Class Si 550EP to dimension hardwood stock for doors, window frames, and decorative trim components. The 3800 x 3200 mm squaring capacity and dual fence positions (1000/1500 mm) accommodate the varied widths and lengths typical of custom orders, while the 550 mm blade enables clean crosscuts on premium solid wood without excessive kerf loss.

timber construction

Industrial

Timber frame and mass timber fabricators use the Class Si 550EP to cross-cut and rip engineered wood blanks and solid timber elements for structural beams, wall panels, and roof components. The 1500 mm cutting width accommodates wider timber stock, while the 7–8 kW motor delivers consistent power for demanding solid wood cutting, supporting batch production schedules in mid-scale fabrication facilities.

panel processing

Medium workshop

Woodworking facilities processing veneered or solid wood panels use the Class Si 550EP to square and dimension sheet goods into finished or semi-finished components. The flexible squaring capacity (3200 or 3800 mm) and precision blade projection enable clean, chip-free crosscuts and rip cuts critical for visible surfaces and downstream assembly operations.

furniture production

Medium workshop

Furniture manufacturers rely on the Class Si 550EP to prepare component blanks—rails, stiles, panels, and legs—from rough or partially dressed stock. The machine's repeatability and precision squaring capacity (up to 3800 x 3200 mm) ensure consistent geometry for frame assembly, while the sliding table mechanism reduces manual handling and improves operator safety in high-frequency cutting environments.
