Description:

The TI-115 Nova is SCM's most affordable tilting spindle shaper. The tilting spindle allows craftsmen to use more creativity in designing high-end, custom products. The quality and flexibility of this machine are especially appealing to architectural millwork operations.

PRECISION SPINDLE MOVEMENT:

The spindle is designed to tilt -5 / +45 degrees. The design of the pivot ensures maximum spindle support under load.

• 1 1/4 Inch interchangeable spindle
• 5 Spindle speeds from 3,000 to 10,000 rpm
• 5 Table insert rings
• Reverse rotation switch
• Mechanical digital readout of spindle height
• Foot pedal controls for mechanical brake and spindle lock
• Magnetic starter with overload protection
• Low tension circuit (110v by transformer)
• Wooden fences
• Adjustable fence and guard assembly

Monoblock technology is used in the design and fabrication of this base. The solid, welded base undergoes a treatment call normalization which stabilizes the metal and assures exact tolerances. All machine mechanisms are mounted, aligned, and referenced to the base. This design is vastly superior to frames that are bolted together and have no true reference point.

One thing that can degrade the quality of finish from a shaper is the vibration transmitted from the spindle to the cutter. Minimizing vibration is even more critical when cutting tall profiles to using stacked tooling. SCMI ensures maximum quality in its shapers by using very large spindle assemblies whereby the increased mass of the spindle absorbs vibrations and eliminates whipping action at the top of the spindle.

All SCMI shaper spindles are completely assembled and high speed balanced as one complete unit which further ensures vibration free performance.

The TF110 Nova has a healthy 5.5 inch tool capacity under the nut. Coupled with the digital indicator for the spindle height, this makes the SCMI shapers perfect for the use of stacked tooling. For example, many woodworkers use a tooling package consisting of three cutters for making cabinet doors. The stile, rail, and panel cutters are all mounted on the same spindle. By raising or lowering the spindle, it is possible to perform all three operations without changing the cutter or the spindle.
