Scmi handwheel

[Darcy Warner]

Anyone ever had to pull a handwheel off a scmi table saw or shaper? Looks to be set up the same way. I need to get into the electrical controls on my si16 saw and the dang Italians made it so the handwheel has to come off before you remove the panel.

Great design....

Finally got it.

Now I get to work on the cheap all plastic iec starters inside it.
I really despise modern electrical controls of the last 25 years or so.

There's been some horrid electrical components. I'm on my phone and can't post a picture, but the innards of my widebelt panel looks like mission control for a third world space program.

With older SCM stuff your mostly on your own.....hard to find advice or support. My SCM shaper is likely quite a bit older than your machine, 68' or so, but the wiring fell apart and the electronics while mostly sound, were a bit tricky to figure out.

good luck,

Darcy, I have a spare electrical panel for a SI 16. May be different as most are 9 hp motors and this one is less. Good news is that Klockner Moeller and Breter are easy to source on ebay and pretty cheap. Euro motors and electrics are not nearly as fool proof as the old NEMA large frame stuff. Have fun. Dave

Not sure who I should be upset at, me, the Amish that were using this saw or the guy selling it for them.

Turns out, after following everything back, the motor was wired wrong. Pulled one from a parts machine t130, changed wiring, still nothing.

Pulled motor and wired it straight to my fused disconnect.

Just as I thought, big arc flash, little smoke and a whole lot of stink.

Motor is/was junk.

Time to pull motor out of the t130, it's the same motor.

Scmi wanted 250 bucks just to talk to someone, I hung up on the lady. Lol.
