Arrival of new panel saw

**Albert** · 17th July 2023, 08:32 AM

here she is. the L'Invincibile si X. the double tilt slider from SCM.

Waited 2 years for this day.

Ordered/Paid deposit for the saw in July 2021, Delivered in Jul 2023. This sounds terrible but I didnt need the saw here early as I need to come up with the money and I had a panel saw I could use. The certificates says the saw was made and passed its QC in Sep 2022, on the ship in Feb 2023.

Extremely happy with the saw, ordered mine with short table - 2200mm slider. can order a longer table if I want to in future. no modification required, the table are modular

Very easy to setup, there are several pins to insert from base of the slider to the saw and everything just magically squares up.

SCM provided training for the software and I helped out unpack and put it together.

The saw feels more like a CNC than a saw. the stops and the angular setting talks to the control panel and vice versa.

I have started using it last weekend without extraction (will be putting it in this week), been working without a panel saw for 6 weeks now and have a backlog to clear.

apart from the obvious, what I like about it so far:
Attention to detail, you cant see weld lines.
"Fully Support/Wireless" this is the option where you get the round looking out rigger table and electronic stops. no more angular fence you have to store.
Cross cut fence comes very easily to allow operator to swap between front/rear cutting position, but this does not compromise cutting operation.
Very heavy, 1120kg ish monster. saw base is made of 12mm thick steel some parts 20mm thick.
Linear guides everywhere (gotta oil them none stop.....)

What I dont like:
A LOT of electronics
Need air to run. you cant just switch it on and start cutting. you gotta have compressed air and dryer turned on first, switch it on, takes about 15-20 seconds for the machine to wake up before you can press main blade cut button.

when I get a chance I will do a video about it.
Saw cost between 45k to 65k Euro depending on the spec.

WOW Albert that saw looks great!!!

I bought a 1983 slider site unseen on Ebay. I had to drive 6 hours to pick it up. When I arrived the machine was suspended on a crane inside the workshop. I didn't get a "test drive" to check its operation. I was fairly confident that all would be OK because I had used a few of these machines when I was working. Got it home unloaded it and tested its operation and squareness and........it was cutting square after its life in service making kitchens.

I will bet that in another 10s of years, when you sell it, it will be as accurate as it is now
Those Italians do make a good product

Thanks! most Italian machines are hard to beat and they just live forever! (electronic side maybe not lol)

This saw is extremely capable, my workshop is too small for it. looks like I will need to upgrade my workshop..

Albert, all that for cutting boards! I bet it will do a great job

Wow, that is some machine! But .. can it make coffee as well?

Seriously, my congrats - that is a some grail slider. You have some amazing machines, I know - so far ahead that I cannot even aspire to them

. I'll stick with my Hammers and marriage.

Thanks Derek! I am sure it can also bake if you give SCM another $50k lol

My wife is actually in full support of my machinery upgrades. she knows this is providing an income and its all investment, she actually asked me recently " so when are you going to get that briquette maker? thought you complained about spending time clearing your extractor and all"

if its not bringing home the bacon I wouldnt spend more than $5k on a saw...

Nice saw with a memory electric fence, so your repetitive jobs/cutting lists are saved, which is a great time saver
