The Class TF 130 ships with an 11 HP motor, a fixed 1 1/4 inch MK5 interchangeable spindle, and five speeds; from there you can specify either a bigger motor or a tenoning version at order time, rather than buying a different machine: 11 HP (8 kW) three-phase motor; 15 HP optional Fixed 1 1/4 in MK5 interchangeable spindle, 180 mm working length Five speeds: 3,000 / 4,500 / 6,000 / 7,000 / 10,000 rpm 1,200 x 730 mm (47.2 x 28.7 in) worktable Profiling tools to 250 mm (9.8 in) diameter Cast-iron spindle column with a cast-iron cup shielding the internals *Photos may include optional equipment.

The machine we quote arrives with an 11 HP motor, a fixed MK5 interchangeable spindle and five speeds. From there, though, SCM’s option list stays open in a way it does not on the sibling TF 130PS: a bigger motor, a sectional table, cast-iron extensions and two different tenoning versions are all still available. The sections below cover the spindle unit, the setup readouts, what you can add at order time, and where this machine fits in the range. ### The Spindle Unit The spindle sits in a large column made entirely of cast iron, while a cast-iron “cup” surrounds the spindle itself to keep shavings and sawdust away from the internal mechanical components. Five speeds come standard — 3,000, 4,500, 6,000, 7,000 and 10,000 rpm — which suits any type of machining, from profiling to molding to tenoning, while still allowing large-diameter tools to be fitted. The spindle is fixed rather than tilting, and it takes a 1 1/4 inch MK5 interchangeable unit with 180 mm (7 in) of working length. - **Profiling tools** up to 250 mm (9.8 in) in diameter - **Tooling up to 320 x 85 mm** (12.6 x 3.3 in) retracts under the worktable - **Spindle base projection** of 92 mm (3.56 in) above the table ### Setup From the Front of the Machine Every movement adjusts from a hand wheel with a mechanical decimal readout, positioned on the front of the machine, setting the unit precisely and reliably. In this configuration, the fence uses aluminum tables with mechanical adjustment. SCM also builds a shaper fence with mechanical programming and digital readouts, and for that fence it claims positioning accurate to a tenth of a millimeter with no test run needed; on the TF 130, that fence is an option, but not part of the configuration we quote here. ### What You Can Add Because the TF 130 is the base machine, most of SCM’s optional equipment for the range still fits it. Both the motor and the table can be stepped up, and either tenoning version can be specified at order time: - **15 HP (11 kW) motor** in place of the standard 11 HP - **“Fast” sectional table** with manual adjustment — note that fitting it reduces the maximum tool retractable under the table from 320 mm to 300 mm - **“LL” version** with two cast-iron profiling extensions - **“TL” and “TL PRO-10” versions** for tenoning and profiling, or a carriage on the fixed table for small tenoning operations - **Shaper fence with mechanical programming** and digital readouts, or the “Flex” fence - **“T-Set” rapid tool locking**, a mobile control panel, a spindle for router bits, and a feeder support device ### TF 130, TF 130PS or TI 120? All three are Class-range shapers of similar size, but they differ in what they are set up to do. The TF 130 pairs a 1,200 x 730 mm fixed worktable with the option list above. The [Class TF 130PS](https://360degreemachinery.com/product/scm-class-tf-130ps-spindle-shaper/) instead builds a front sliding carriage, a tenoning table and a tenoning hood as standard equipment, on a different 1,080 x 760 mm table — although in exchange it gives up the 15 HP motor and most of the options listed above. The [Class TI 120](https://360degreemachinery.com/product/scm-class-ti-120-spindle-shaper/) tilts 45 degrees either side of vertical, and it carries the largest worktable of the three at 1,200 x 810 mm. So if you profile straight stock and want the widest choice of options at order time, choose the TF 130; if you tenon regularly, choose the PS; and if you need angled work, choose the TI 120. ### Specifications | Type | Spindle shaper, fixed spindle | | --- | --- | | Spindle diameter | 1 1/4 in, MK5 interchangeable | | Working spindle length | 180 mm (7 in) | | Spindle base projection above table | 92 mm (3.56 in), with interchangeable spindle | | Spindle speeds | 5 speeds: 3,000 / 4,500 / 6,000 / 7,000 / 10,000 rpm | | Max profiling tool diameter | 250 mm (9.8 in) | | Max tenoning tool diameter | 300 mm (11.8 in) | | Max tool retractable under worktable | 320 × 85 mm (12.6 × 3.3 in); 300 mm with the optional “Fast” table | | Worktable | 1,200 × 730 mm (47.2 × 28.7 in) | | Main motor | 11 HP (8 kW), three-phase (15 HP optional) | | Electrical | 220 V, 60 Hz, 25 A | | Fence | Aluminum tables, mechanical adjustment | | Extraction required | 986 CFM (1,700 m3/h) | | Exhaust outlets | 2 × 120 mm (shaper fence and machine base) | | Shipping weight | 1,597 lb (crated) | | Product line | SCM Class | ### Contact 360 Degree Machinery 360 Degree Machinery is an authorized SCM dealer.
