Universal combined machine with all the Minimax quality at an accessible price. Ideal for small joinery workshops.
The Minimax C 26G is a universal combination woodworking machine that integrates jointing, sawing, and spindle moulding capabilities into a single compact unit for solid wood processing. Designed by SCM Group, it consolidates multiple operations—face jointing with a 260mm cutterhead, rip sawing with a 250mm blade capacity, and profile routing with spindle speeds up to 6500 rpm—eliminating the need for separate standalone machines in space-constrained workshops. Key technical specifications position this machine for precision small-batch work: the jointer bed extends 1040mm for reliable stock flattening, the saw unit delivers 500mm rip capacity with 75mm blade projection at 90°, and the spindle moulder accommodates tooling up to 160mm diameter across a 75mm working length. Three independent 2.5 Hp single-phase motors provide dedicated power to each function without mechanical compromise, allowing operators to switch between jointing, sawing, and moulding without reconfiguration penalties. The C 26G is engineered for small to medium joinery workshops—typically 3-15 employees—producing custom pieces, architectural components, and bespoke furniture in volumes of 10-100 units per month. It serves craftspeople who require factory-quality repeatability and surface finish without the footprint or capital investment of larger industrial lines. The mid-range price point and modular function design make it accessible to operations transitioning from hand tools or single-function machines while maintaining SCM's build quality and precision standards.
