Surfacing-thicknessing machine for the demanding craftsmen and carpentries.
A powerful and user friendly jointer/planer machine for D.I.Y. woodworkers and craftsmen workshops. The Minimax FS 41E has a high-flexible production with an “elite” finishing, designed for the demanding craftsmen and carpentries.
**The Minimax FS 41E 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 41E 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. With the addition of the XYLENT cutterblock, you have long-lasting carbide knives that are designed to last.
XYLENT MAITENANCE KIT
This kit was designed to help you get the most out of your new XYLENT cutterhead. With this kit you get one cleaning/degreasing liquid bottle for helping reduce resinous wood coatings. You will also get one dynamometric key set to 5.7 mm, two bit Torx T20, ten inserts of 15x15x2.5mm, five M6x15 T20 screws, one brass bristle brush to clean the spindle with the mounted inserts and one steel bristle brush to help clean out the insert housings. All in a beautiful and functional hardback case.
JOINTER-PLANER
The Minimax FS 41E has a 16” Jointer and a 16” Planer. The planer is able to process up to 9” thick material.
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 41E 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°.
AMERICAN GUARD AND JOINTER
The Minimax FS 41E comes with an American standard guard on a jointer bed over 70” long. 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.
PERFECT FINISHING
The Minimax FS 41E uses a dedicated planing fence extremely rigid and smooth, thanks to a support with central round bar. The robust fence is capable of tilting from 0° to 45° with a lockable lever.
Perfect finishing
The planer unit stands on cast iron supports and the standard version has a 87 mm diameter cutter block with 3 knives. (The optional “Tersa” cutter block is available with 4 quick tightening knives and automatic adjustment). 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.
Planing fence
The FS 41E uses a dedicated planing fence extremely rigid and smooth, thanks to a support with central round bar.
“Xylent” spiralknife cutter block with 3 series of knives
The 3 spiralknives give an exceptional finish. Reduced noise during machining provides a more comfortable working environment. It also improves the dust extraction due to the production of very small chips. Each cutter has 4 tips which can be rotated into the cutting position when worn. Therefore increasing the production life of the cutter block before knives require replacement.
