SCM Nova S 520 Tersa Planer, INCLUDES FREIGHT

The SCM Nova S 520 is a high-performance, heavy-duty planer designed for precision and efficiency in professional woodworking shops. Equipped with a powerful 11 HP (8 kW) motor and a Tersa cutterhead with four precision knives, this machine ensures superior surface finishes with quick and easy blade changes. The robust 20.44” (520mm) working width and 35.37” (900mm) cast iron worktable provide exceptional stability for processing large stock. Featuring a helicoidal steel infeed roller and a rubber-coated steel outfeed roller, along with interchangeable feed rollers, the Nova S 520 guarantees smooth and consistent material feeding. With an electronically controlled table lift, four steel support screws, and two linear side guides, this planer delivers maximum accuracy. Its adjustable feed speeds of 16-59 feet per minute and a maximum depth of cut of 8mm (0.31”) make it an ideal solution for high-demand applications, offering precision, durability, and efficiency in one powerful package.

STANDARD EQUIPMENT

• Monoblock Base and Cast iron table
  • 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.
  • The cast iron tables are machine polished. These castings are ribbed to ensure maximum strength and to avoid problems with the tables warping or breaking during use.
• Powered planer table lifting; 2 speeds with micrometric adjustment
• Numerical readout of working height with decimal control
• Planer table movements by means of 4 steel screws, with 2 side linear guides
• Helicoidal steel infeed roller
• Rubber-coated steel outfeed roller
• Interchangeable feed rollers
