Minimax S 41ES
Solid Wood Processing โ SCM Group
A thicknessing planer designed for demanding craftsmen and carpentries, combining high technology with competitive pricing.
The Minimax S 41ES is a 410 mm working width thicknessing planer engineered for professional woodworking shops and carpentry operations requiring consistent material thickness reduction. As a single-pass thickness planer, it removes stock from solid wood workpieces with precision and repeatability, delivering finished surfaces ready for assembly or final machining.
The machine features a 95 mm diameter cutterblock equipped with four standard knives (410 x 30 x 3 mm), enabling maximum stock removal of 5 mm per pass. Dual feed speedsโ6 m/min and 12 m/minโallow operators to optimize production rate against surface finish quality depending on material species and grain orientation. The thicknessing table measures 410 x 775 mm with a working height range of 3โ240 mm, accommodating diverse component geometries from thin veneered panels to solid timber. The machine operates on three-phase power from 5โ6 kW, providing sufficient motor torque for demanding production schedules without excessive energy consumption.
This machine targets medium-sized carpentries, custom millwork shops, and solid wood furniture producers that require reliable thickness planing without the footprint or cost of industrial-scale equipment. It suits operations processing 5โ50 linear meters of stock daily in species ranging from softwoods to hardwoods. The 410 mm width accommodates typical European component widths (doors, drawer fronts, tabletops up to maximum width), making it practical for batch production of custom furniture, kitchen components, and architectural millwork.

Applications
solid wood crafting
small workshopSmall carpentry and craft workshops use the S 41ES for bespoke projects requiring precision thickness planing of hardwoods and specialty timbers. The competitive mid-range pricing and modest 5โ6 kW power requirement make it accessible for operations that cannot justify industrial-scale equipment but need reliable, repeatable stock preparation.
furniture production
medium workshopFurniture makers rely on the thicknesser to mill solid wood componentsโtabletops, chair rails, cabinet sidesโto consistent thickness before assembly. The 5 mm maximum stock removal per pass suits sequential dimensioning workflows, while the 775 mm table length handles typical European furniture component runs efficiently.
custom millwork
medium workshopMillwork shops use the S 41ES to thickness custom door frames, drawer fronts, and trim components to precise specifications. The adjustable working height (3โ240 mm range) and 410 mm width accommodate typical architectural components; dual feed speeds (6/12 m/min) allow shops to optimize finish quality on figured hardwoods while maintaining production throughput for softwood stock.
panel processing
medium workshopCabinet makers and panel shops process solid wood panels and edge-banded components through the S 41ES to achieve uniform thickness across batches. The 410 mm working width covers standard widths; the dual feed speed capability allows fine-tuning for veneered or difficult-grain panels without feed marks or tearout.
