Practical and cost-effective circular saw with tilting blade designed for small joinery workshops. Features a 250mm sawblade with versatile cutting capabilities.
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.
