Fine Woodworking named this award-winning 12" jointer/planer as "Best Overall" in its category. The Minimax FS 30C X offers premium power and precision in a compact size for any shop. With long jointer tables and sturdy fence, this machine is a quality product, made in Italy, for a value price. Find out why one of our best-selling units may be perfect for you.
Your Minimax FS 30C X includes robust features, from the heavy-duty 12” jointer to cast-iron tables and the breakthrough “XYLENT” cutterblock technology. The Xylent cutterhead is the quietest and most durable knife option, making it suitable for heavier cuts. It also improves dust extraction since it produces very small chips.
Changing between the jointer and the planer is much quicker on this machine than on 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.
The FS 30C X has a separate jointer fence that rides on a rail mounted to the jointer table. The rigid fence is made of extruded aluminum that is 1,670 mm in length, has a cast-iron knuckle, and can tilt up to 45°. This machine also includes a handwheel with a gravitational numerical readout for accurate positioning of the planer table.
This machine features a 12” Jointer and a 12” Planer with a 59” long cast-iron table. The planer is able to process up to 9” thick material. The Jointer/Planer head also comes standard with a “Xylent” head that has helical knives to guarantee a strong, constant workpiece feed.
Also featured is an American-style, OSHA-approved 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.
