The Minimax Si 400ES is a circular saw with tilting blade designed for professional woodworking applications. It delivers quality performance without compromises for solid wood processing.

The Minimax Si 400ES is a sliding table circular saw engineered for precision cross-cutting and angled cuts in solid wood elements. The machine combines a tilting blade mechanism with a guided sliding table system, delivering repeatable accuracy across demanding production workflows in the joinery and furniture sectors.

The Si 400ES achieves cutting widths up to 1270 mm on the parallel fence with a maximum blade diameter of 400 mm, projecting 138 mm at 90° and 98 mm at 45° tilt. The squaring stroke range of 2600–3200 mm accommodates varying workpiece lengths, while the three-phase motor starting from 5 kW (6 kW available) provides consistent cutting power for both solid wood processing and mixed-density materials. The tilting blade design enables bevel cuts from 90° to 45°, critical for frame-and-panel construction and angled joinery applications.

This machine is positioned for medium-sized woodworking workshops and small-to-medium production facilities processing solid wood components in batches. It suits operations requiring high-accuracy crosscutting, squaring, and angle cutting without the footprint or cost of larger panel saws. Typical applications include furniture component preparation, window and door frame blanks, custom millwork, and timber framing element sizing where precision and repeatability are non-negotiable.

Within its class, the Si 400ES balances compact floor space with professional-grade accuracy, making it an accessible entry point for workshops transitioning from manual to semi-automated solid wood processing while maintaining the build quality standard to SCM Group machinery.

Applications

furniture component cutting

medium workshop

Manufacturers processing solid wood blanks for chair frames, table bases, and cabinet sides use the Si 400ES to square and cross-cut components to exact length with bevel capability. The 1270 mm cutting width and adjustable squaring stroke (2600–3200 mm) handle typical component batches efficiently, while the 45° tilt blade enables angled joinery cuts without secondary operations.

custom millwork

small workshop

High-end millwork shops use the Si 400ES for one-off and short-run orders requiring precision cutting of decorative solid wood elements—panel frames, cabinet door frames, and architectural trim blanks. The machine's repeatability across the 2600–3200 mm squaring range ensures matching components across multiple pieces without manual length adjustments.

timber framing elements

medium workshop

Timber framing and construction element producers process solid wood joists and posts using the Si 400ES for length squaring and angle cuts at scale. The 5–6 kW motor sustains continuous cutting of larger solid cross-sections, while the sliding table system maintains accuracy across repetitive batch production of structural components.

window door production

medium workshop

Window and door frame manufacturers rely on the Si 400ES to produce stile and rail blanks with consistent length and angle precision. The 400 mm blade diameter with 138 mm projection provides clean crosscuts on solid wood frame stock, while the tilting mechanism supports mortise-and-tenon corner joinery preparation at 45° configurations.
