Nova Si 400
Solid Wood Processing — SCM Group
Manual or programmed sliding table saw with 400 mm blade designed for solid wood processing. Versatile joinery machine offering flexible cutting widths and stroke capabilities.
The Nova Si 400 is a professional sliding table saw designed for precision crosscutting and ripping operations in solid wood processing. Built on a dual-function platform, it combines manual operation flexibility with programmable cutting sequences, making it suitable for both job-shop and small-batch production environments. The machine features a 400 mm saw blade with dual-angle capability (90° and 45° projection up to 140 mm and 97 mm respectively), enabling compound angle cuts and beveled joinery work.
Key technical capabilities include adjustable rip capacity between 1000–1500 mm and a maximum squaring stroke envelope of 3200–3800 × 3200 mm, allowing operators to process stock ranging from narrow trim to mid-sized panels in a single pass. The 7 kW three-phase motor (8 kW at higher frequency) provides consistent cutting power across hardwoods and softwoods without loss of performance at depth. The sliding table mechanism ensures repeatable dimensional accuracy across multiple passes, critical for frame-and-panel assemblies and furniture components where tolerance stack-up affects assembly fit.
This machine is engineered for small-to-medium woodworking facilities producing custom furniture, cabinet components, and architectural millwork. It serves shops requiring both flexibility—quick setup for one-off cuts and custom joinery—and consistency for short production runs of 50–500 pieces. The programmable option reduces operator fatigue and setup time for repetitive operations while the manual mode accommodates non-standard dimensions and ad-hoc design changes.
Within its class, the Nova Si 400 balances cutting precision with operational simplicity. Unlike larger format panel saws or single-function rip saws, it handles crosscutting and ripping without repositioning the workpiece, reducing material waste and handling time. Its mid-range positioning makes it accessible to growing workshops graduating from contractor-grade equipment while offering enough rigidity and control to meet commercial quality standards.

Applications
custom furniture production
medium workshopThe Nova Si 400 excels in custom furniture shops where each piece requires component dimensioning to specific designs. Operators use the sliding table to crosscut rails and stiles to exact length (within the 3200–3800 mm stroke), then switch to rip-fence mode to width hardwood blanks from 1000–1500 mm stock. Programmable sequences streamline repetitive cuts (e.g., 20 identical drawer fronts), while manual override accommodates one-off dimensions common in bespoke work.
cabinet component milling
medium workshopCabinet manufacturers rely on the Nova Si 400 to process frame components and panel edges with high repeatability. The machine's ability to execute both 90° crosscuts and 45° beveled cuts (at 97 mm projection) supports frame joinery and edge-banding operations. For shops producing 100–300 cabinets monthly, the dual operation mode and programmable memory reduce changeover time and operator error across multiple SKUs.
solid wood crafting
small workshopArtisan woodworkers and boutique shops use the Nova Si 400's manual mode to prototype and execute detailed joinery—tenons, mortise shoulders, and angle-cut components for decorative work. The machine's precision sliding table and adjustable blade projection support intricate cuts on premium hardwoods where material waste directly impacts project economics. The 400 mm blade diameter and moderate power suit production runs of 1–50 pieces without the overhead of larger production saws.
architectural millwork
medium workshopMillwork shops producing custom interior trim, casing profiles, and door frames depend on the Nova Si 400's dual-capacity workflow. The rip fence handles width-consistent lengths of moulding blanks (1000–1500 mm cuts), while the sliding table ensures square ends and repeatable joinery angles for frame assembly. Programmable operation is particularly valuable when a single project requires dozens of identically dimensioned components across multiple delivery phases.
