Mx3515a Fully Woodworking Semi Auto Finger Joint Shaper Making Finger Joint Machine

The Mx3515a is designed to produce strong, precise finger joints in wooden boards and components. It is suitable for end-jointing pieces to make longer boards, panels, or for furniture components where interlocking joints are required.

The machine is electrically powered. Main spindle motor: 7.5 kW. Saw motor: 2.2 kW. Confirm required supply voltage/phase with the supplier or the machine nameplate.

Spindle speed is 6000 RPM and saw speed is 2800 RPM.

Maximum working width is 360 mm. The table size is 650 x 550 mm, which gives an indication of the working area and support.

Spindle diameter options: 35 mm or 40 mm. The saw blade size is 305 x 25.4 mm with 80 teeth (305 x 25.4 x 80T).

The Mx3515a is suitable for both softwoods and hardwoods. Harder species may require feed rate or cutter adjustments and sharper tooling to achieve optimal results.

'Semi Auto' indicates that some operations are automated (for example, cyclic cutting or automatic indexing), while operator involvement is still required for setup, loading/unloading, and adjustments. Exact automation features should be confirmed with the supplier or manual.

Required air pressure is 0.6–0.8 MPa. Ensure a clean, dry compressed air supply at the specified pressure for pneumatic components.

Machine weight is approximately 300 kg. Table footprint is 650 x 550 mm; plan additional space for operator access, infeed/outfeed, and dust collection when siting the machine.

Use appropriate PPE (safety glasses, hearing protection, dust mask or respirator). Ensure all guards are in place, emergency stop functions are operational, and follow lockout/tagout procedures for maintenance.

Regular maintenance includes cleaning dust/debris, checking and tightening fasteners, lubricating moving parts per the manual, inspecting and sharpening/replacing cutters and blades, and checking air lines/pressure. Follow the manufacturer's maintenance schedule for intervals and procedures.

The machine accepts cutters for the 35/40 mm spindle diameters and allows adjustment of joint settings. Specific ranges of finger length and spacing depend on tooling and setup—refer to the manual or supplier for compatible cutter profiles and adjustment procedures.

Common accessories include additional cutter profiles, infeed/outfeed conveyors or tables, dust extraction systems, spare blades, and pneumatic or mechanical feeding aids. Check with the supplier for factory options and compatible accessories.

Production rate depends on material, joint size, operator skill, and setup. For an accurate estimate, request cycle-time tests or performance data from the supplier using your typical workpieces.
