The Minimax S 45N is SCM's longest-running bandsaw — and for good reason. This shop favorite delivers reliable performance through many applications. With 18" cast-iron flywheels, a solid cast-iron table, and 12" of resaw capacity, the S 45N can handle everything from delicate pattern cutting to serious resawing jobs. It’s been a trusted part of the Minimax lineup for over 30 years, and it’s still setting the standard for small-shop bandsaws.
The large, balanced cast-iron wheels produce smooth, consistent cutting power. The "flywheel effect" helps the blade glide through hardwoods with ease. A sturdy and adjustable aluminum fence can be set in either the high or low position depending on the job at hand. The fence is easily removeable without needing to remove the blade.
Moving the S 45N around your shop is easy thanks to the built-in mobility kit. The wheels are internal, and when not in use, the machine rests flat on the floor’s surface. When you pull the lever at its base, the wheels engage and the machine is able to be pulled easily. The large 23.5” x 20.5” cast-iron table tilts (up to 45°) on a trunnion mechanism and can lock at any variable degree in between!
Also included is a standard width miter gauge for performing angled cuts across the table surface. The table’s built-in groove guides the gauge smoothly through your cut, and the adjustable roller bearing guides keep smaller and medium-width blades running straight and true.
Dust collection is also conveniently designed, with a 120mm dust port located directly below the table, which pulls dust directly from the cut point. A zero-clearance insert allows the blade to pass through while forcing the dust out of the dust chute, keeping your work area cleaner.
Note: Does not include bandsaw blade.
Optional Installation & Training
When purchased, installation will be performed by an SCM factory-trained service technician or certified dealer technician. Installation is defined as assembling the machine to its "ready-to-run" state; it does not include floor/masonry work or running electrical, pneumatic, or dust extraction services. Training will be conducted on site by the technician after installation is completed.
Warranty
SCM warrants that every machine is free of defects in workmanship and materials for a period of one (1) year beginning on the date the machinery is accepted by the customer. Belts, bearings, and common electrical parts carry a six-month warranty. This warranty does not include wearable items or maintenance required in the ordinary course of operation.

*Shipping
Please note: Items being shipped to extremely remote areas or areas with limited delivery access (such as islands only accessible by ferry) may incur additional shipping or freight fees. If your order requires any additional fees other than what is already included in the price, you will be contacted before those fees are applied and before your item ships.
