Minimax SI X

Overview

The Minimax SI X is a professional-grade sliding table circular saw engineered for precision crosscutting and angled cuts in solid wood processing. Built on SCM Group's platform, this machine combines a 400mm maximum sawblade diameter with powered, programmable blade movement to deliver repeatable accuracy across production runs. The double-tilting capability (±46° in both directions) enables complex joinery, beveled edges, and compound angle cuts without repositioning material, while the powered sawblade movement ensures consistent depth control and feed rate precision. Key technical capabilities distinguish the SI X within its class. The machine delivers a cutting width on parallel fence of 1270mm, accommodating wide panels and solid wood components in a single pass. Sawblade projection ranges from 136mm at 90° to 97mm at +45° and 60mm at -45°, providing flexibility for through-cuts and shallow scoring operations. The squaring stroke adjusts from 2250mm to 3800mm, allowing operators to optimize feed length based on workpiece geometry. Three-phase motor configurations start at 7kW (8kW for 50Hz markets), providing adequate power for both softwoods and dense hardwood species without sacrificing blade speed stability. The SI X targets medium to industrial workshops processing solid wood components where crosscutting precision and repeatability drive production efficiency. This machine excels in environments producing furniture frames, cabinet components, architectural millwork, and timber elements where ±46° tilting capability justifies investment in powered blade control. Workshops processing 50+ components daily with varying angles, widths, and thicknesses will recoup setup time through programmable cycle repeatability and reduced manual adjustment.

Applications

furniture production

Medium workshop

Furniture makers leverage the SI X for precision crosscutting of frame components, table aprons, and leg blanks in hardwood species. The 400mm sawblade diameter and powered blade positioning deliver clean kerfs in dense woods like oak and maple, while the tilting table accelerates production of beveled edges and compound-angle joinery without material repositioning. The 1270mm fence width supports wide panels for tabletops and component grouping.

custom millwork

Medium workshop

Custom millwork shops use the SI X to crosscut and miter solid wood components for architectural trim, handrails, and decorative moldings. The ±46° double-tilting capability and 1270mm cutting width enable single-pass production of complex angled cuts on wide boards, while programmable blade movement ensures consistent miter angles across batches of 20–100+ components. The 2250–3800mm squaring stroke accommodates varying workpiece lengths without repositioning.

panel processing

Industrial

Industrial panel shops integrate the SI X for crosscutting solid wood edging, blocking, and component stock for engineered panels and cabinet assembly. With a 1270mm cutting width and adjustable squaring stroke, the machine processes high-volume batches of standardized components while maintaining tolerance consistency. The powered blade movement eliminates operator variability in depth and feed, critical for downstream edge-gluing and assembly operations.

solid wood crafting

Small workshop

Small workshops and master craftsmen use the SI X for versatile crosscutting of decorative and structural elements where precision and flexibility justify the investment. The ±46° tilting and powered sawblade movement reduce manual setup time for custom angled work, while the 400mm blade diameter handles both thick stock and thin veneered components. Programmable features enable quick changeover between project-specific cuts.
