Our best estimate for a cnc router in this class — not a quote from SCM. Configuration moves it a long way.

Overview

The SCM Record 220 is listed as a 5-axis CNC router with a pod-and-clamp table: 2,200 mm of X travel as standard or up to 6,000 mm with an extended bed, 1,300 mm of Y and 300 mm of Z. It does not appear in SCM's current lineup, so this page covers an older model from the listed figures.

Work holding is what separates it from a flat-table router. Parts sit on vacuum pods or are gripped by lateral clamps, both positioned automatically, which lifts the workpiece clear of the table so the tool can work the full edge and pass through the part. The 5-axis head is listed at A-axis ±120° and C-axis 360° continuous. Together these make edge profiling, angled joints and curved components the natural work. The materials row names solid wood, MDF, plywood and engineered wood composites.

The spindle is listed at up to 12 kW and up to 24,000 rpm, and rapid feed at up to 60 m/min. That is less power than the 18 kW of the Record 270 CNC, so heavy sections call for more passes. The tool magazine ranges from 12 – 48 tools depending on the ATC configuration, a wide spread that should be checked on any machine offered. The drilling row lists vertical and horizontal spindles with the note 'optional aggregate', so drilling equipment cannot be taken for granted either. Control is SCM Maestro.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

5-axis head with A-axis ±120° and C-axis 360° continuous
Vacuum pods and lateral clamps with automatic positioning
X travel of 2,200 mm as standard, or up to 6,000 mm with the extended bed
Tool magazine of 12 – 48 tools, depending on ATC configuration

Limitations

Spindle power of up to 12 kW, against 18 kW on the Record 270 CNC
Y travel is 1,300 mm and Z travel 300 mm regardless of bed length
The drilling unit row is marked 'optional aggregate', so vertical and horizontal drilling may not be fitted

Best For

Solid wood components machined on vacuum pods and lateral clamps 5-axis edge and joint work within 1,300 mm of Y and 300 mm of Z Long parts, where the extended bed gives up to 6,000 mm of X MDF, plywood and engineered wood composites

Frequently Asked Questions

01 How long is the X axis on the Record 220?

X travel is listed as 2,200 mm in the standard version and up to 6,000 mm with an extended bed. Y travel is 1,300 mm and Z travel 300 mm in both cases, so the extended bed adds length only.

02 What can the 5-axis head do?

The head is listed with an A-axis range of ±120° and a C-axis of 360° continuous. The spindle can therefore tilt past horizontal and turn to face any side of the part, within 300 mm of Z travel.

03 How are parts held?

The work holding row lists vacuum pods plus lateral clamps with automatic positioning. Pods suit panels and flat-backed parts; clamps grip narrow or solid pieces that offer too little surface for vacuum.

04 Which materials is it listed for?

Solid wood, MDF, plywood and engineered wood composites. The spindle of up to 12 kW and 24,000 rpm fits that range. The table lists no metals or plastics, so those fall outside what the listed figures support.
