Sedgwick SM255T Tilting Spindle Moulder

Description

The Sedgwick SM255T is a traditional spindle moulder built for precise shaping and profiling of timber in professional workshops. Designed and manufactured in the UK, it is known for its durability, straightforward operation and consistent results across a wide range of joinery applications, including rebating, grooving, moulding and tenoning.

At the core of the machine is a heavy cast iron table mounted on a rigid steel cabinet, providing excellent stability and reducing vibration during use. This solid construction allows for accurate machining, even when working with larger or heavier workpieces. The spindle is belt-driven by an industrial motor and runs in sealed bearings, ensuring smooth operation with minimal maintenance requirements.

A key feature of the SM255T is its backward tilting spindle, which allows the tool to tilt from +5 to -45 degrees. This design improves safety and flexibility by enabling work to be carried out from underneath the timber, reducing obstruction and allowing better use of guards and power feeds.

The machine also features a ‘true vertical’ rise and fall system, meaning the spindle height can be adjusted independently of the tilt angle. This keeps the cutter aligned with the fence during adjustments, improving accuracy and reducing setup time.

Operation is straightforward, with rise, fall and tilt controlled from the front of the machine and monitored via digital indicators. The adjustable cast iron fence system provides precise positioning, while multiple spindle speeds allow the machine to handle different tooling and materials effectively.

Overall, the SM255T is a robust and dependable spindle moulder that focuses on accuracy, safety and ease of use, making it a strong choice for workshops needing consistent shaping performance without complex automation.
