Spiral Cutterhead For the SCM 2041 FS Combined Planer-Thicknesser

Among the SCM Combo Machine lineup, the SCM 2041 FS Combined Planer-Thicknesser may be an older model, but it still packs powerful punch, delivering exceptional quality. Furthermore, by integrating both a jointer and thicknesser (planer) into one unit, it optimizes workshop efficiency while conserving space. Sheartak enhances its cut-quality even further with a precision-engineered spiral cutterhead, taking this machine to the next level.

Planer & Jointer in One Powerful Machine

The SCM 2041 FS functions both as a jointer and a planer, eliminating the need for separate machines. With a 410 mm width, its extended 2000 mm table provides ample support in jointer mode. By lifting the side table and lowering the dust cover, it seamlessly transitions into thicknessing mode, offering a capacity of up to 240 mm. This versatility makes it ideal for handling a wide range of woodworking projects.

Sacred that the 2-meter-long table might fall?

The planer table is raised by a large-diameter column that moves within a cylindrical housing, offering excellent rigidity during operation and allowing for a high-quality finish, even when performing substantial planing tasks. Truly an well designed machine.

Enhance Performance with a Sheartak Spiral Cutterhead

This high-quality machine can be upgraded by installing the corresponding Sheartak Spiral Cutterhead that features 102 carbide inserts!

Each insert has four indexable edges. When an edge becomes dull or nicked, simply loosen the screw, rotate the insert, and you'll have a fresh cutting edge. Not only does this eliminate the need for sharpening, but it also significantly extends the lifespan of the inserts, making them up to 40x more durable than traditional HSS blades.

Additionally, our inserts are positioned at a slight angle to create a true shear cut when surfacing, which significantly enhances surface quality by virtually eliminating tear-out and leaving boards as smooth as butter.

Designed with precision to deliver exceptional performance, Sheartak guarantees that every spiral cutterhead is manufactured to the highest standards, providing the following key benefits:

• Quieter Operation – Significantly reduces noise for a more comfortable workspace.
• Less Sanding Required – Delivers a smoother finish, cutting sanding time by up to 75%.
• Improved Dust Extraction – Staggered chip removal enhances airflow and prevents clogging.
• Energy Efficient – Uses less power while extending the lifespan of your machine.
• Cost-Effective – Long-lasting carbide inserts reduce maintenance and replacement costs.

Still skeptical? Listen to one of our satisfied customers:
“In a word - magic. We dress one of the hardest and densest timbers in the world, Ironbark (Euc Crebra), and it just flies through, whisper quiet. By far the best cutter we’ve ever had in that machine.”
