    Single End Grooving Machine - ECT-C2

    E-Chain
    A chain-feed single-end grooving machine covering 60–1200mm working widths, suited to joinery and panel workshops that need one machine to handle a broad spread of section sizes without a change of setup.

    Typically chosen by

    • Joinery shops producing door components, frames, or panels that require a reliable single-end grooving operation
    • Workshops processing a wide range of section sizes who need one machine to cover the spread rather than a dedicated narrow-range unit
    • Manufacturers where consistent spindle speed and a variable feed rate matter more than fully automated twin-end processing

    Key specification considerations

    Working Width
    60–1200mm
    A wide capacity range means the machine can handle everything from narrow mouldings to broad panel components without a change of setup.
    Working Thickness
    6–60mm
    Feed Speed
    5–25 m/min
    Variable feed speed lets operators balance output rate against timber species and finish quality requirements.
    Spindle Speed
    3,450 rpm (60Hz)
    This speed is quoted at 60Hz — UK mains supply runs at 50Hz, so effective spindle speed in operation will differ. Confirm the 50Hz figure with IWM before specifying tooling.

    Minimum Working Length

    Feed System
    Chain track
    Feed Speed
    5–25 m/min
    Feed Motor
    2hp
    Confirm phase and amperage draw with IWM before ordering — your electrical supply will need to match the motor's requirements.
    Grooving Motor
    3hp × 2
    Spindle Speed
    3,450 rpm (60Hz)
    Quoted at 60Hz — confirm effective speed on UK 50Hz supply with IWM before specifying tooling.
    Spindle Diameter
    25.4mm (30mm)
    Two bore sizes are listed — talk to us before ordering to confirm which is standard fit and which, if either, requires a different tooling specification.
    Sawblade Diameter
    205–255mm
    Machine Dimensions
    2070 × 960 × 1480mm
    Allow additional clearance beyond the machine footprint for infeed, outfeed, and operator access — total floor allocation will be substantially more than the machine envelope alone.
    Net Weight
    1,000kg
    At 1,000kg, floor loading capacity should be checked with a structural engineer or your building's facilities manager before installation.
    Gross Weight (packed)
    1,090kg
    Packing Dimensions
    2140 × 1060 × 1750mm

    Is this the right
    machine for you?

    Choose the Single End Grooving Machine - ECT-C2 if...

    • You need a single-end grooving operation across a genuinely wide range of widths — the 60–1200mm capacity covers most joinery and panel work without a machine change
    • Your workflow processes one end at a time and does not justify the throughput or cost of a double-end tenoner
    • Variable feed speed matters to you — being able to slow down for hardwoods or fine work, and speed up for volume runs, is a day-to-day requirement
    • You want a mechanically straightforward chain-feed machine with a known spindle configuration rather than a more complex automated system

    Consider an alternate model if...

    • You need both ends of a component machined in a single pass — the NC Type Automatic Double End Tenoner or Double End Sizer C Type would be more appropriate and significantly faster for that workflow
    • Your production is predominantly flooring or similar high-volume, narrow-section strip work — the Tenoners for Flooring range is designed around that specific application
    • You require window component profiles or more complex end machining beyond straightforward grooving — the ECT-Windotec Series is built for that purpose
    • Your volumes are lower and a simpler, lighter single-end machine would suffice — discuss the ECT-SET100 with us as a potentially more right-sized option
