The SCM Class M 3 Gang Rip Saw is a powerhouse designed for precision, efficiency, and durability in high-production woodworking environments. Built with a monoblock base for stability and a cast feed table and feed chain for smooth material handling, this machine ensures superior cutting accuracy. Equipped with a 60-horsepower main motor and variable speed feed unit (6–48 m/min), it delivers the power and flexibility needed for diverse ripping applications. Safety and reliability are paramount, featuring four rows of anti-kickback fingers, a lockout safety switch, and automatic chain lubrication. With a maximum cutting height of 100mm and a 300mm maximum blade diameter, the Class M 3 can handle a wide range of workpieces with ease. Whether processing solid wood or composite materials, this rip saw provides unmatched performance for demanding operations.

“CSA” rated electrical components including cables

Monoblock Base
Monoblock technology is used in this base which means it is made of a solid welded base that is t hen normalized to ensure permanent tolerances. By using monoblock technology, consistency in machine quality is further insured. All machine mechanisms are mounted, aligned, and referenced to the base. With bolted frames, the opportunities for components to loosen and misalign are greatly increased.

Solid Piece Cast Iron Table
For maximum tolerance, and reliability, a single piece cast feed table is used. This when mounted into the monoblock base creates a permanent reference point for the alignment of the saw. Also, this massive table ensures that any vibrations in the machining process are absorbed away from the workpiece.

Cast Spindle Housing
Simple but effective, the M3 spindle is mounted in a massive cast housing with four bearings to ensure maximum rigidity. The spindle housing is an eccentric as well, making it a simple machine. This allows for worry free blade diameter positioning for easy, accurate setup every time.

Cast Linked Feed Track
The M3 uses a substantial cast feed track with individual links. These links are precision milled to ensure maximum operational tolerances and can also be replaced individually. This sometimes eliminates the need for replacing an entire track.

Self-Centering Saw Blade Sleeve
Advanced Machining is used in the M3 saw blade sleeve to ensure proper saw blade group positioning. This sleeve has been machined with a conical taper that properly centers the unit each time it is fitted into place. This helps make for easier changeover of the blades during setup.

Easy Blade Change
All M3 gang rip saws now include an additional saw sleeve further simplifying setup between runs. An easy set up stand mounted on the machine is also standard.

Automatic Feed Track Lubrication
Automatic lubrication ensures operation under severe working conditions. This track lube system operates consistently once with every cycle of the feed chain, minimizing guide way ware. Additionally, a rear feed track dust hood is included to remove dust which can ware guides and clog the oiler.

Anti-Kick Back Protection
Due to the natural mechanics of a rip saw, safety must be a major concern. This is probably the number one reason for considering the M3 gang rip. Over its years in service, SCM Group has continually worked to make this machine one of the safest saws on the market. We have put an impressive group of 4 sets of anti-kick back fingers in order to accomplish that goal.

Short Stock Shoes
The short stock shoes which come standard allow the machine to work with parts as low as 390mm (15.5”) long.

Extended Infeed Fence
A long fence at the infeed of the saw enables easier handling of long workpieces for straighter cuts.

Safety Lockout on Access Door
A safety switch is mounted in the locking handle to ensure the machine will not run with the door open. This unit is threaded allowing enough time for cutting blades to stop after operation before access door opens.

Variable Feed System
The feed chain is powered by a 2 Hp variable belt drive unit with serviceable gear box as opposed to a sealed variator carried by competitive models.
