Made in Italy. Ships from the United States.
The Nova S520 is a heavy-duty, 20” planer designed to meet the needs of the most demanding environments. It features a monoblock base, a work table with support rollers, and a Tersa cutterhead.
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.
All SCM planers use four jack screws with acme style threads and dust covers for maximum table support. In addition to providing a stable lifting system that eliminates sniping, the acme threads greatly increase the longevity of what is normally the most common wear item on planers. Through a patented design, there is a special bushing between the drive chain, and sprocket which doesn’t allow any pressure from the chain to reach the jack screw, thus pushing the machine’s longevity to the extreme.
Used when planing raw, uneven lumber, the work table support rollers allow irregular material to be planed that would not feed on a standard table. When the material has been planned flat on one side, the rollers can be lowered to allow a clean pass on the other side.
The Nova S 520 - T comes with a "Tersa" Knife cutterhead. Tersa Knives are double-sided for long life, disposable, and lock into place when you start the machine — no special tools required! These knives also have one of the quickest changeover times in the industry. Available in different materials and designs for different types of wood. Click the link below to see all Tersa Knives.
