Minimax C 26G
Solid Wood Processing — SCM Group
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.

Applications
furniture production
small workshopBespoke furniture makers employ the C 26G across all primary milling stages: jointing tabletops and panel stock using the 1040mm jointer bed, ripping component parts to width with 500mm rip capacity, and routing edge profiles and decorative details via the spindle moulder. The integrated design reduces material handling time and floor space compared to three separate machines, ideal for workshops producing 5-15 custom pieces monthly in solid hardwoods and specialty timbers.
custom millwork
small workshopSmall millwork shops use the C 26G to process solid wood components for custom architectural mouldings, door frames, and interior trim. The 260mm cutterhead handles face and edge jointing of rough stock, the spindle moulder with 6500 rpm capability executes detailed profiling in hardwoods and softwoods, and the 250mm saw performs precise cross-cutting and rip cuts for final component sizing. Typical output: 15-40 custom pieces per week with tight dimensional tolerances.
solid wood crafting
small workshopCraft woodworkers and small studios use the C 26G as their primary milling hub for hand-finished pieces where precision stock preparation and custom routing are essential. The combination of flat-jointing capacity (260mm width), clean sawing (250mm blade, 16mm arbor), and detailed spindle work (160mm max tool diameter) enables creation of finished components from rough lumber without outsourcing milling steps, preserving workflow and design control.
small batch components
medium workshopMedium workshops producing semi-repetitive components—stair parts, structural framing elements, or cabinet components—benefit from the C 26G's speed and consistency for setup-intensive operations. The machine handles stock prep (jointing), dimensioning (sawing with 75mm/60mm dual-angle blade projection), and profiling (spindle moulding at up to 6500 rpm) in a single work station, reducing changeover time and labor for batches of 50-200 identical or near-identical parts.
