SCM Nova S 630 / Nova S 520
SCM Nova S 630 / Nova S 520 Thicknessing Planers
Professional Nova-series thicknessing planers for cabinet, furniture, millwork, stair, door, joinery, and solid wood shops that need accurate stock preparation in a practical SCM platform.
Practical SCM Thicknessing for Cabinet, Furniture, Millwork & Solid Wood Shops
The SCM Nova S 630 and Nova S 520 give professional woodworking shops a practical, accurate, and durable thicknessing solution for everyday stock preparation. They are built for solid wood, furniture components, cabinet parts, millwork stock, door parts, stair components, and custom joinery where consistent thickness and surface preparation matter before machining, sanding, assembly, or finishing.
Key Advantages
The Nova S range is the right planer conversation when the customer wants real SCM thicknessing performance at a practical investment level, with 520 mm or 630 mm capacity, four feed speeds, stable table movement, interchangeable rollers, and TERSA or XYLENT cutterhead options.
Practical SCM Platform
Positioned below the Class and L’invincibile planer families, the Nova S gives shops professional SCM planing capability in a more accessible package.
520 mm or 630 mm Capacity
The Nova S 630 fits wider stock and larger parts, while the Nova S 520 gives shops the same Nova-series concept in a narrower format.
TERSA or XYLENT Cutterhead
The machine can be reviewed with straight-knife TERSA or premium XYLENT spiral helical cutterhead options depending on the required finish.
Four Feed Speeds
5 / 8 / 12 / 18 m/min feed speeds give operators practical control over finish quality, stock removal, material type, and production pace.
Applications
Solid Wood Thicknessing
Built for rough lumber, pre-jointed boards, production stock, furniture components, cabinet parts, door pieces, stair parts, and custom joinery material.
Cabinet & Furniture Production
Fits face-frame stock, rails, stiles, furniture parts, drawer parts, table components, solid wood panels, and visible components.
Millwork & Joinery
Useful for architectural millwork, trim components, stair pieces, door parts, wider stock, and custom shop work where consistent material thickness matters.
High-Finish XYLENT Planing
The XYLENT cutterhead package is a strong option for shops focused on finish quality, lower noise, improved chip extraction, and longer insert life.
Machine Information
The SCM Nova S 630 and SCM Nova S 520 are professional Nova-series thicknessing planers designed for accurate, reliable solid wood stock preparation. They are a strong fit for cabinet shops, furniture manufacturers, millwork shops, joinery operations, stair shops, door shops, and custom woodworking businesses that need a real SCM thicknesser without moving into the higher Class or L’invincibile tiers.
The Nova S range is built for shops that need cleaner boards, more repeatable thicknesses, fewer downstream fitting issues, and better surface quality before machining, sanding, assembly, or finishing. The main capacity difference is working width: the Nova S 630 provides 630 mm working width, while the Nova S 520 provides 520 mm working width.
Shared working data includes 3.5–300 mm working height and 5 / 8 / 12 / 18 m/min feed speeds. SCM’s Canadian page lists the Nova S 520 with an 11 hp three-phase motor, 8 mm maximum stock removal, TERSA cutterhead data, and XYLENT cutterhead data. Regional SCM data lists motor power as 7 kW at 50 Hz / 8 kW at 60 Hz, so final Canadian motor rating and electrical package should be confirmed before quote or publishing.
The Nova S range’s strongest practical features are interchangeable rollers, smooth three-roller vertical displacement feeding, stable worktable movement using four large screws and two side linear guides, and available premium cutterhead packages. For customers struggling with feed issues, finish inconsistency, noise, insert life, or rough stock-prep quality, these details become strong sales points.
For Titan, the Nova S 630 / Nova S 520 should be positioned as the professional value tier in the SCM planer lineup. It sits below the Class S 630 / S 520 and L’invincibile S 7, while still offering serious SCM build quality, professional feed control, selectable capacity, and a clear upgrade path into the higher SCM planer families.
