Minimax SI 4

Overview

The Minimax SI 4 is a professional sliding table saw engineered for precision cross-cutting and rip operations in solid wood processing. As a member of SCM Group's established SI series, it combines a sliding table mechanism with a fixed blade arbor to deliver repeatable accuracy across high-volume production runs and custom applications. The machine accommodates saw blade diameters up to 315mm or 400mm depending on configuration, with blade projection ranging from 136mm at 90° to 97mm at +46° angle, enabling both standard cross-cuts and compound angle work. Its adjustable squaring capacity spans 2250mm to 3800mm, while rip fence width can be configured from 900mm to 1270mm, making it adaptable to varying material widths and workshop space constraints. The three-phase motor power starts at 5kW (6kW at 50Hz), providing sufficient torque for sustained production without compromising cut quality in solid wood stock. This machine is positioned for medium-sized woodworking operations and small industrial facilities that require flexibility in both material handling and workspace footprint. It serves shops processing everything from furniture components to structural timber elements, where consistency between pieces and quick format changeovers are production priorities. The variable configuration options allow operators to match machine parameters to their typical throughput and material specifications without investing in multiple dedicated saws.

Applications

furniture component production

Medium workshop

The SI 4 is suited for producing dimensioned furniture parts—chair rails, frame members, table aprons—where multiple identical crosscuts must be executed with minimal setup time. The adjustable squaring capacity (up to 3800mm) accommodates longer stock, while the configurable rip fence width (900-1270mm) handles standard panel widths. Shops can execute 50-200 piece production runs per day with tight tolerances.

timber construction elements

Medium workshop

Manufacturers of timber roof trusses, wall plates, and structural components rely on the SI 4 for precise cross-cutting and angled cuts in dimension lumber and engineered timber. The blade projection capability and compound angle positioning support production of gussets and beveled connections; the squaring capacity handles standard 2x and 4x stock formats efficiently.

panel and solid stock preparation

Industrial

Small-to-medium industrial facilities use the SI 4 as a primary breakdown and sizing station for solid wood panels and rough-sawn stock destined for further processing. The configurable cutting width and squaring range minimize material waste and handling time; the 5-6kW motor sustains continuous operation through multiple production cycles.

custom millwork

Small workshop

Cabinet makers and bespoke woodworkers use the SI 4 to process solid wood stock for custom doors, drawer fronts, and built-in components. The flexible squaring range (2250-3800mm) accommodates both narrow stiles and wider panels; the +46° cutting angle enables decorative bevels and edge details. Manual operation and quick fence adjustment make it practical for low-volume, high-variety work.
