The FIMAL S 63 A is a professional, high-precision thickness planer for joineries and industrial woodworking. It is characterized by its robust construction, modern control technology, and large throughput capacity in both height and width.
Key Features & Special Characteristics
* Electronic Height Positioning S 63 “A”: The “A” in this model series stands for the automatic, electronic positioning system. The desired planing height is simply entered via a keypad, whereupon the thicknessing table moves to the position precisely and automatically.
Maximum Table Stability: The solid thicknessing table is raised and lowered by four backlash-free trapezoidal lead screws. Together with two lateral guides, this guarantees absolute stability, even with very heavy workpieces.
Efficient Workpiece Feed: Three large feed rollers on independent connecting rods ensure consistent transport of all wood types. The feed speed can be infinitely adjusted via an inverter.
High flexibility: With a maximum throughput height of 310 mm, the machine easily handles even very thick beams and special formats.
Technical Data
*Working width 630 mm
*Working height (min. / max.) 3 mm / 310 mm
*Max. chip removal 8 mm
*Min. workpiece length 250 mm
*Cutting shaft 4-knife shaft - spiral shaft - Tersa shaft
*Flow speed Infinitely variable 6 – 20 m/min (inverter)
*Motor power (standard) 5.5 kW (7.5 hp) (Options up to 12 kW / 15 hp)
*Dust extraction port D150 mm
*Weight approx. 750 kg
Equipment options & system variants
Practical tip:
Depending on requirements, the S 63 A can be individually configured for sensitive surfaces or quiet workshops.
Cutterhead Systems:
In addition to the wedge-type cutterhead, the machine is often equipped with a TERSA cutterhead (for lightning-fast knife changes without adjustment) or a spiral cutterhead with carbide reversible knives (for particularly quiet operation and tear-out-free planing).
Gentle Feed: Optional rubberized infeed and outfeed rollers protect delicate or already planed hardwoods from damage.
Table Extensions: Table extensions (e.g., 600 mm) are available for long workpieces.

SCM Nova S 630 Thickness Planer
Industrial planing precision for the highest demands
The SCM Nova S 630 is a top-of-the-line professional thickness planer for woodworking, interior finishing, and solid wood construction. Designed for a working width of 630 mm and a planing height of up to 300 mm, it combines Italian engineering expertise with outstanding surface quality and extreme durability.
Thanks to its heavily ribbed cast iron table, stable guidance on four precision lead screws, and modern cutterhead technology (such as the noise-reduced Xylent spiral shaft or the Tersa system), the Nova S 630 sets standards for continuous operation.
Technical highlights at a glance:
*Working width 630 mm
*Working height (min. / max.) 3.5 mm / 300 mm
*Max. Chip removal 8 mm
*Thicknessing table dimensions 640 x 1000 mm
*Motor power 7.0 kW / 9.5 hp (optional 9.0 kW)
*Feed speeds 4 stages (5 / 8 / 12 / 18 m/min)
*Planer cutterhead Ø 120 mm, 4 knives (standard, TERSA or XYLENT)
*Table guide: 4-column guide for maximum torsional rigidity
Key Features & Equipment
*Extreme torsional rigidity: The solidly ribbed thicknessing table rests on four large steel lifting spindles. This guarantees absolute parallelism and prevents the table from sagging, even with extremely heavy hardwood beams.
*Fully motorized table adjustment: Two speeds for fast positioning and precise adjustments, including a digital height display for results accurate to a tenth of a millimeter.
* Efficient infeed system: A helical-toothed steel infeed roller ensures reliable workpiece feeding without slippage. Optional segmented infeed rollers allow for the simultaneous planing of strips of varying thicknesses.
* Optional Xylent spiral cutterhead:** The 3-spiral carbide indexable inserts dramatically reduce noise emissions, produce a tear-out-free planed finish even with challenging grain patterns, and offer extremely long tool life.
Why SCM? The decisive advantages over competitors
When comparing professional 630 mm class planers – such as the SCM Nova S 630 – to those from other manufacturers, clear design advantages in favor of SCM become apparent:
1. Higher mass & better vibration damping
SCM draws on decades of tradition in heavy industrial machinery manufacturing. The Nova S 630 utilizes high-viscosity gray cast iron with a high density. This absorbs cutting vibrations right from the start, ensures smoother operation, and guarantees a flawless cut without planer shake, even after years of continuous operation.
2. Quadruple Table Support for Uncompromising Stability
While some competitors rely on centrally guided guide columns in compact designs, SCM secures the thicknessing table of the S 630 with four robust external spindles. This completely prevents elastic deformation under uneven loads (e.g., when planing wide boards on the outer edge).
3. Mechanical Robustness for Continuous Industrial Operation
SCM machines are designed for harsh industrial environments with 24/7 operation. The gearbox, bearings, and feed rollers of the S 630 feature oversized components. This results in less wear and significantly longer service intervals compared to standard woodworking machines.
4. Improved TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) & Value for Money
In the premium class of 630 mm thickness planers, SCM offers increased mass, more powerful standard motors (7 kW), and industry-proven cutterhead systems at a highly competitive investment.
Applications
The SCM Nova S 630 is the ideal solution for:
*Construction and carpentry businesses: Effortless planing of thick squared timber and glulam beams.
*Solid wood joineries and cabinetmakers: Superior surface quality for wide tabletops and solid wood fronts.
*Furniture manufacturing: Precise thickness adjustment in the tenths of a millimeter range.
