The SCM Minimax FS 41ES is a heavy-duty, professional-grade jointer/planer combination machine, designed to deliver high-performance results in demanding environments. With either a 4.8 HP, single-phase (230V) or a powerful 8 HP, 3-phase motor (220V), it features an advanced Tersa cutterhead, which allows for rapid and effortless knife changes while ensuring a consistently smooth and precise finish. The self-locking, disposable Tersa knives automatically position themselves for optimal cutting performance, minimizing downtime and maintenance. The FS 41ES offers a 16” (410mm) working width and an 87” (2200mm) jointer table length, making it ideal for large-scale, precise woodworking projects. Equipped with cast iron tables, a tilting fence (0°-45°), and a digital-mechanical readout for planer height adjustments, it ensures smooth, accurate performance. Featuring adjustable feed speeds of 23 & 46 fpm, this machine guarantees high-quality results for both jointing and thicknessing, meeting the needs of professional craftsmen and woodworking shops. The Minimax FS 41ES does not come with the European Euroguard.

For an impeccable finish, the pressure of the thicknesser feed rollers can be adjusted according to the type of wood machined. The infeed roller has a helicoidal profile to guarantee firm and constant work piece feed, while the outfeed roller, in sandblasted steel, maintains the perfect post-processing finishing. AMERICAN CUTTERHEAD GUARDThe standard guard offered on the Minimax jointer/planer combination machine is a spring type guard which always covers the unused portion of the knife. Other style guards require the guard to be manually moved into place when the fence is readjusted. When processing thick wood, this does not cover the blade as completely. STABILITY OVER TIMEFor a maximum long lasting stability the cast iron thicknessing table lifts on 4 spindles with dust protected trapezoidal threads.HIGH RIGIDITYThe Minimax FS 41ES uses a dedicated planing fence extremely rigid and smooth, thanks to a support with central round bar. TABLE LIFTINGComfortable and precise planing. The ES series adopts ergonomic solutions like the 2200mm jointer tables, in ribbed cast iron, that allows for the simultaneous opening towards the inside of the machine with a 90° angle. For maximum long lasting stability the cast iron thicknessing tables lift on 4 spindles with dust protected trapezoidal threads.
