The SCM Minimax FS 41C jointer/planer is a powerful and versatile machine, perfect for woodworkers seeking precision and reliability in their craft. Powered by a 4.8 HP single-phase motor (230V), this machine used an advanced Xylent spiral helical cutterhead, designed to shear at an angle, which reduces operational noise while providing a smoother, cleaner finish. The Xylent cutterhead uses insert knives arranged in a spiral pattern, ensuring consistent results with minimal wear. With a maximum jointing width of 410mm (16") and a maximum stock removal of 1/8", the FS 41C excels in both jointing and planing applications. Its precision-ground cast iron tables provide stability, while the 0° to 45° tilting fence of 6" x 43" offers flexibility for various angles. The planer’s table size of 16" x 23.8" accommodates a wide range of stock, while the feed speed of 23 feet per minute ensures smooth and efficient operation, making the FS 41C a perfect solution for those seeking top-tier performance and versatility in a jointer/planer.
**The Minimax FS 41C does not come with the European Euroguard. This machine comes standard with the OSHA compliant American Spring Guard in the US**

XYLENT 16” CUTTERHEAD
Your Minimax FS 41C X includes robust features. From the heavy duty 16” jointer to cast-iron tables and the breakthrough “XYLENT” cutterblock technology, this cutterhead eliminates the necessity of balancing single knives, significantly reduces the decibel level during operation and produces much smaller shavings. With the addition of the XYLENT cutterblock, you have long-lasting carbide knives that are designed to last and provide an excellent finish.
QUICK CHANGEROVER
Changing between jointer and planer is much quicker on this machine than other models. This is because there are two separate same-side dust collection outlets for the jointer and the planer. Also, it is not required to drop the planer table all the way down in order to change back to a jointer, saving you additional time. Lastly, when going back to using the planer function, you don’t have as much distance to travel to get to your planning thickness. The entire changeover process can be done in under a minute.
JOINTER FENCE
The Minimax FS 41C X has a separate jointer fence which rides on a rail mounted to the jointer table. The fence has a cast-iron knuckle and is tiltable to 45°.
JOINTER/PLANER
The Minimax FS 41C X has over a 70” Jointer bed, a 16” width cutterhead, comes with an USA OSHA approved American guard. The planer is able to process up to 9” thick material.
AMERICAN STANDARD GUARD
The Minimax FS 41C X comes with an American standard guard. American safety standards state that when the guard is moved out of the way, and let go, it must automatically recover the cutterhead, which is why the American “pork chop” guard is standard. It is spring loaded to comply with American safety standards.
