New enhanced shaper on the market!

Villa Verruchio (Italy) – MiniMax has recently launched a new enhanced shaper in response to the increasing pressure from the north-American market for a versatile, heavy-duty and compact machine that operates mainly on single phase – 220V. This shaper is branded under ‘MiniMax T/45I and T/45F’ because it is available in an inclinable or fixed spindle version. The T/45 shaper is the improved version of the discontinued T40 that has efficiently served do-it-yourselfer and professional woodworkers for many years now. The T/45I is offered in Canada with a standard rock-solid aluminum carriage with a 36“ stroke capacity that will give its user the extra stability when performing dovetail, tongue & groove, rail and stile as well as many other type of joints. 

 Even though the machine has an assortment of available shaft diameter ranging from metric to imperial standards, its 1¼” shaft with adjustable rings will accommodate most common variety of shaper cutters on the market.  

The T/45I is another example of MiniMax commitment to small and medium size wood shop that usually have not access to higher voltage to run their shops. Running on lower voltage doesn’t mean users will loose on power and moreover, the machine will still be offered with a choice between single-phase (220V – 4,8HP) and 3 phase (600V- 6,6HP) motor power.
