The Nova F 520 X is a heavy-duty, long-bed 20” jointer designed to meet the needs of the most demanding environments. It features cast-iron tables, a tilting fence, and a 20-1/2" (520mm) wide table. This robust jointer is ideal for production shops, custom furniture and cabinet shops, and even lumber mills.

All SCM Jointers use aged cast-iron tables that are machined to the highest tolerances. These castings are ribbed to ensure maximum strength and avoid problems with the tables warping or breaking during use. The table is over 108” long to ensure that the workpiece will be straight every time.

Some manufacturers use a wedge type movement. This allows the table and chip breaker to move away from the head as it is adjusted for more removal, resulting in splintering and poor-quality finish. All SCM Jointers also incorporate a parallelogram movement of the infeed and outfeed tables. This system of four cams (one per corner of support) pivots on a radius equal to the head radius. This radius pivot ensures that the table chip breaker remains in the correct position from the head.

The Nova F 520 comes with a XYLENT cutter block featuring 3 spiral rows of cutterheads. The XYLENT cutterhead is the quietest and most durable knife option, making it suitable for heavier cuts. It significantly reduces decibel output from the jointer. It also improves dust extraction since it produces very small chips. The spiral cutterhead shears at an angle instead of cutting head on, minimizing any rippling pattern left on the workpiece.

The Nova F 520 comes with an OSHA-approved, American style cutterhead guard. This spring-type guard always covers the unused portion of the knife and allows you to complete a pass in one go (when using a push block) without any hand or weight transfer. There are also no height restrictions with the American guard.
