SCM Class TF 130E Fixed Spindle Shaper with FLEX Fence

Monoblock technology is used in the design and fabrication of this base. The solid, welded base undergoes a treatment called 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.

One thing that can degrade the quality of finish from a shaper is the vibration transmitted from the spindle to the cutter. Minimizing vibration is even more critical when cutting tall profiles or using stacked tooling. SCM ensures maximum quality in its shapers by using very large spindle assemblies whereby the increased mass of the spindle absorbs vibrations and eliminates whipping action at the top of the spindle.

A standard feature on the Class TF 130 is the MK 5 interchangeable tapered spindle. This feature allows the use of different spindles for various tooling with different spindle diameters. An upgrade to a larger shaper does not mean that all tooling needs to be replaced. Special tools can continue to be used simply by changing out to a different spindle. A 1-1/4” spindle comes standard.

The Class TF 130 comes standard with a large shaper hood with memory pins. If removed, the hood will go right back into the same position, so it is accurate and repeatable. The fences are adjusted by means of a mechanical hand crank that features a digital (mechanical) readout of the fence positioning. This convenient feature makes it simple to set up the hood for a number of different profiles and operations.
