A history
of success
SCM has conquered the world market
thanks to its determination in being a
leader in technology and reliability.
A solid, forward looking management
approach has constantly assured
a remarkable expertise in creating
innovative products and technical
solutions. Reliable long-life machines
have been backed by the company’s
fifty years of experience in technical
product development.
SCM rapidly became a leading industrial group thanks to
participation in major world trade fairs and to the creation of
a solid sales network.
Proud of our roots
In 1952 SCM introduced the “L’invincibile” range of innovative
products setting new standards for quality in the production
of woodworking machinery. A design approach based on
the latest technology and innovation enabled the industrial
production of a wide range of machines. The reliability and
versatility of the “L’invincibile” range made these products a
firm favourite with a growing number of craft woodworkers
and large industrial woodworking companies.

Success built on
continuous development
SCM is a large industrial group combining tradition and innovation, always keeping
its products at the higher quality standard. Next generation manufacturing cycles,
continuous research and development and advanced solutions are all factors
which ensure that our machines are produced to certified quality standards.
Attention to details right down to the smallest part ensure that the best solutions
and the maximum reliability are always safeguarded.
An efficient after-sales service and the ready availability of spare parts for
machines which have long been out of production mean that your SCM machine
will maintain its cost-effectiveness and value over a long period of time.
Today, “L’invincibile” sets new standards for quality
and incorporates all the experience and expertise of
the manufacturer of the widest range of woodworking
machines in the world.
An immediately recognisable style
At SCM, industrial design means the perfect matching of
form and function to meet the operator’s needs.
Our designers have produced a company style which
combines uncompromising safety with an attractive appearance.

Experience, technical research,
Italian creativity.
A long tradition of inventions and patents at the customer’s service.
New designs and product innovations are just two of the ways that SCM ensures the
customer gets the best. SCM already has the highest number of registered patents in
its sector thanks to its ongoing research and development effort.
Precision development work and long testing periods are important features of SCM
product development cycles and ensure that the machines maintain their reputation for
maximum reliability.

11
Time is valuable
Calculating the position of the stop on the squaring fence
for mitre cuts requires precision and precious time.
Especially when working with a tilting blade.
Vanguard calculates the position of the
squaring fence stop for the measurement
and blade tilt angle that you select. No fuss.
The real time calculation is quick and easy.
Clear, easy-to-understand graphics and an
on-screen help window make the stop position
calculation easy, even for the less experienced
operator.
Other calculation functions guide the operator through
setting up the cuts for complicated shapes. Once again
the functions are quick and easy to use thereby reducing
set up times and preventing expensive errors. The control
will calculate any unknown dimensions and angles on the
basis of the measurements that you enter.

Anodised, hardened surfaces for the maximum resistance to wear.
Unrivalled cutting quality with
a precision of +/- 0.05 mm along
the entire cut length. Ground,
prismatic slideways mechanically
fixed to the carriage structure ensure
smooth, high-performance operation
throughout the long machine life-cycle.
16
Effortless
operation even
with heavy loads
As panel weight increases so does the
amount of effort required to push the
sliding table on each stroke. The use
of a latest generation linear guide eliminates friction in the movements of the
squaring frame. This unique solution
guarantees smooth, dust-free operation throughout the machine life-cycle.
Resistant to all stresses and loads
On circular saws, torsional stiffness and the complete
absence of vibration are the two main features needed to
guarantee the high quality cut finish specified by today’s
markets.
The closed structure and short blade arbor have made
this blade unit a favourite with hundreds of customers for
many years. The unit moves smoothly on vertical, round
steel bars and has a very efficient dust extraction system.
Minimum maintenance and maximum reliability.
17
Exclusive solutions
Ideal work position
Standard equipment includes saw
start/stop pushbuttons integrated
into the sliding table carriage.
This makes the cutting of large
panels easy and safe.
The ergonomically-shaped grip
provides a firm hold for the best
working conditions.
Solid and strong
Cutting precision using the
rip fence is guaranteed by
the flatness and the resistance
of the referencing surface.
The worktable complete with
extension is entirely made from
cast-iron and is machined to offer
an accurate, long-lasting reference
surface.
18
Easy to configure
and use
Changing the position of the squaring
fence quickly to match the dimensions
of the panel to be cut is one way of
ensuring both a high quality finish
and complete operator safety.
The Quick Lock fence has quickrelease locks which makes releasing
and repositioning the fence a matter
of a few seconds.
Pushing small parts towards the blade
with this system offers top level safety
for the operator and a top quality cut.
19
Full Support frame
Ease of use and precision
components
A precision, solid frame for making
angled cuts on panels of all sizes.
The strong structure and the precision
mechanics feature rotation around
a single pivot point and make
the Full Support table unique.
The dimensions of the support
surface remain the same from
the positions +50° to –50°.
This ensures that cutting of
panels, even the largest, remains
precise and uniform.
The Full Support optional table
is complete with the practical
Quick Lock fence which makes
machine set up even faster.
20
Micrometric angle adjustment
with precision mechanics
makes angle setting quicker,
precise and effortless.
The digital displays, indicating the position of the squaring
fence and the worktable angle, provide precision readings
of the measurements reached. The angle indicators have
a magnetic strip sensor that cannot be effected by dust
thus maintaining their precision throughout the machine
life-cycle.
21
Optional units
Post-forming
The mobile scoring saw features automatic raising to
ensure chip-free cutting of post-formed and soft-formed
panels. An excellent finish is guaranteed. Even on angled
cuts with the blade vertical or tilted at an angle of 45°.
Exclusive, patented
system for micrometric
adjustment of blade
travel to match panel
thickness.
Precision with rip fence
at 25 m/min
Top level travel speed and precision, just two of the features
of the exclusive SCM rip fence.
The fence is mounted on a recirculating ball screw
mechanism and slides on two linear guides programmed
directly from the controller.
This device is
standard on
SI 6000 and
SI 6500 with
Vanguard controller.
This device is
optional on
SI 4000 and
SI 4500 with
Easy controller.
22
Rip fence unit
with referencing
system for the first
trim cut.
A practical, precision unit for
making rip cuts using the sliding table.
This has a stop extension for cuts
measuring up to 1000 mm and a
micrometric adjustment system
for the stop.
Easy to install. It is available both in
the standard version and in the version
with digital indicators and magnetic
strip sensor.

automatic adjustment
The inverter enables blade speed
setting directly from the Easy and
Vanguard electronic controllers
thus avoiding any mechanical
procedures to change speed as
for the traditional system.
Quick, easy positioning
of the scoring saw with precision
to a hundredths of a millimetre.
Raising and horizontal travel
of the blade is controlled directly
from the controller
(Easy or Vanguard).
The wide range of speeds
available enable the cutting of
a wide variety of materials with
various blade diameters.
Mitre fence
with measurement
compensation
This strong fence has an exclusive
mechanism which ensures that
the measurement set on the stop
is always correct irrespective of the
angle setting.
An optional version features
magnetic strip sensing and digital
displays indicating the angle
and position of the stop.
Precision and speed are guaranteed.
