Minimax SC 1G

Overview

The Minimax SC 1G is a compact circular saw machine engineered for precision crosscutting and angled cuts in small to medium woodworking operations. As a tilting-blade circular saw, it delivers clean, accurate cuts across solid wood stock with a maximum sawblade diameter of 250mm and blade projection capabilities of 75mm at 90° and 60mm at 45°, enabling both perpendicular and beveled cutting operations. The machine is built around a robust tilting mechanism that accommodates angled cuts up to 45 degrees, making it suitable for joinery work, frame assembly, and detail-oriented carpentry. Its 700mm cutting width on the parallel fence and 1200mm squaring stroke provide adequate working envelope for small component production and custom work. The three-phase motor, available in 1.8kW (50Hz) and 2.2kW (60Hz) configurations, delivers consistent blade speed for clean crosscuts in hardwoods and softwoods without requiring industrial-scale power infrastructure. This machine targets small joinery workshops, bespoke furniture makers, and independent craftspeople who require reliable, cost-effective cutting performance without the footprint or investment of larger automated systems. It is particularly suited for operations processing solid wood components up to 700mm width, where precision and flexibility are valued over high-volume production throughput. The mid-range price positioning makes it accessible for workshops establishing or expanding their circular saw capability. Within its class, the SC 1G balances workspace efficiency with functional versatility—the tilting blade mechanism and squaring stroke dimensions make it more capable than basic benchtop saws while remaining substantially more compact and affordable than industrial panel or rip saws. It fills a practical niche for operations that demand angled-cut capability but operate below the production volumes that justify larger dedicated equipment.

Applications

solid wood crafting

Small workshop

The SC 1G supports bespoke woodworking and craft production where precision crosscutting and angled joinery are core operations. Small workshops use the tilting blade (up to 45°) and 700mm fence width to produce custom frames, decorative elements, and hand-detailed components in solid hardwood and softwood, with the 1200mm squaring stroke accommodating typical frame and component stock lengths.

custom millwork

Small workshop

Custom millwork shops leverage the SC 1G for precision crosscutting of architectural trim, door and window components, and built-in elements. The machine's tilting mechanism enables mitered cuts and angled details essential for traditional and contemporary millwork, while the 700mm cutting width handles typical trim and casing stock efficiently.

furniture production

Small workshop

Small furniture makers use the SC 1G as a primary crosscut station for dimensioning solid wood components—legs, rails, aprons, and shelving stock. The 45° tilting capacity supports frame assembly joinery requiring angled cuts, and the mid-range motor power (1.8–2.2kW) provides clean cuts in dense hardwoods without downtime for blade changes or motor strain.

cabinet making

Small workshop

Cabinet and joinery workshops employ the SC 1G for crosscutting solid wood frame stock and face components. The precision fence system with 1200mm stroke ensures consistent sizing of stiles, rails, and shelving, while the tilting blade supports angled joinery cuts used in traditional cabinet construction and detail work.
