# SCM Class TI 120 Tilting Spindle Shaper

## SCM Class TI 120 Spindle Shaper

A tilting spindle lets one tool cut a profile square or cut it leaning over. The Class TI 120 tilts 45 degrees either side of vertical and backs that with an 11 HP motor, five spindle speeds, and a 1,200 x 810 mm worktable. The sections below cover the spindle unit, the fence and its setup readouts, and the full specifications.

### Tilting 45 Degrees Each Way

The spindle tilts from -45° to +45°, a full 90 degrees of adjustment. SCM carries it in a cast-iron column, with a cast-iron cup around the spindle that keeps shavings and dust out of the mechanics underneath. Profiling tools up to 250 mm (9.8 in) in diameter run on the spindle, and tooling up to 320 x 60 mm (12.6 x 2.3 in) retracts completely under the worktable.

### Setup From the Front of the Machine

The hand wheels sit on the front face of the machine and carry mechanical decimal readouts, and the two aluminum fence tables adjust mechanically with connecting bars between them. SCM also offers a shaper fence with mechanical programming and digital readouts, which it says positions the two tables to a tenth of a millimeter and removes the need for a test run. That programming fence is an option, though, rather than part of the configuration we quote here.

- **Five spindle speeds:** 3,000 / 4,500 / 6,000 / 7,000 / 10,000 rpm
- **1 1/4 inch MK4 interchangeable spindle** with 180 mm (7 in) of working length
- **53 mm (2 in) spindle base projection** above the table, with the interchangeable spindle fitted

### Motor, Table and Extraction

- **1,200 x 810 mm (47.2 x 31.9 in) worktable**
- **11 HP (8 kW) three-phase motor** on 220 V, 60 Hz, drawing 26 A
- **1,570 lb** machine weight
- **900 CFM (1,550 m3/h)** of extraction, through a 120 mm spindle hood and two 80 mm base outlets

At 1,570 lb, the TI 120 weighs about 500 lb more than the fixed-spindle [SCM Nova TF 110](https://360degreemachinery.com/product/scm-nova-tf-110-spindle-shaper/), which comes in at 1,074 lb.
