Tilting Spindle Moulder IWM Soukup

Soukup · IWM · Joinery Workshop
A tilting spindle moulder with LED-accurate rise, fall, and angle control — built for joinery and bespoke workshops that need repeatable, precise profiles without time-consuming trial and error.

Typically chosen by

  • Joinery shops running moulded sections, window components, or door parts who need consistent, repeatable spindle positioning
  • Workshops producing curved or shaped work who need a ring fence arrangement as part of their standard setup
  • Businesses that want to add a power feed in future without retrofitting — the machine arrives pre-wired and table-drilled for one
Before you commit

See it run on your own material

Bring us a sample profile or board and we'll run it through the machine at our Newark showroom. You'll see the output quality firsthand and we can talk through how it fits your workflow - before any decisions are made.

Key specification considerations

Spindle Tilt
+45° / −5°
The tilting range covers the vast majority of angled moulding work; the LED display lets you return to a saved angle without trial and error.
Spindle Speeds
3,200 / 4,200 / 6,000 / 8,000 RPM
Four fixed speeds allow you to match cutter speed to tool diameter and timber species — larger tools generally require the lower speeds for safe operation.
Max. Tool Diameter
300 mm
Table Size
1,050 × 800 mm
A generously sized table supports longer workpieces without additional outfeed support in many typical joinery applications.

Spindle Tilt
+45° / −5°
The tilting range covers the vast majority of angled moulding work; the LED display lets you return to a saved angle without trial and error.
Spindle Useable Length
150 mm
Sufficient for stacking tooling blocks on the spindle — confirm with IWM if you intend to run particularly tall cutter assemblies.
Rise & Fall Adjustment
LED display to 0.1 mm
Digital readout to a tenth of a millimetre makes it straightforward to return to a precise height between runs.
Tilt Adjustment

Table Size
1,050 × 800 mm
Table Height
900 mm
Spindle Speeds
3,200 / 4,200 / 6,000 / 8,000 RPM
Four fixed speeds allow you to match cutter speed to tool diameter and timber species — larger tools generally require the lower speeds for safe operation.
Table Ring Diameters
115 / 170 / 220 / 270 / 345 mm
A range of insert rings allows you to close down the table aperture around smaller tooling, reducing the gap and improving workpiece support.
Ring Fence for Curved Work
Included
Allows shaped or curved workpieces to be run safely against a curved bearing surface rather than a straight fence.
Power Feed Provision
Pre-wired and table-drilled
If you anticipate adding a power feed later, the groundwork is already done — no retrofit wiring or table modification required.
Max. Tool Diameter
300 mm
Machine Weight
600 kg
At 600 kg, floor loading should be verified before installation, particularly on upper floors or older workshop structures.
Availability
Stock item
Motor / Power Supply
3-phase supply required — contact IWM for exact motor rating
Verify your workshop has a suitable 3-phase supply before ordering; IWM can confirm the specific motor rating and amperage draw on request.
Noise Level
Contact IWM for measured noise data
If acoustic treatment or hearing protection requirements are a consideration in your workshop, ask IWM for the declared noise emission figure before specifying.
Machine Dimensions (footprint)
Contact IWM for confirmed dimensions
Allow additional clearance on all sides for operator access, workpiece feed, and extraction ducting.

Is this the right
machine for you?

Choose the Tilting Spindle Moulder IWM Soukup if...

  • Your work regularly involves angled or tilted profiles — window cills, splayed components, or similar — where a fixed-spindle machine would require angled tooling or jigs instead
  • You need repeatable, precise positioning and want digital readout for both height and tilt rather than relying on manual scales
  • Curved work forms part of your production and you want the ring fence arrangement included as standard rather than as an afterthought
  • You are not running a sliding table workflow and a standard table with pre-drilled power feed provision meets your current and near-future needs

Consider an alternate model if...

  • Your work involves tenoning, panel raising, or processing larger frame components where a sliding table would improve accuracy and operator safety — in which case the IWM Soukup ST-SM Sliding Table Spindle Moulder is worth discussing
  • Your volume or the nature of your work means a power feed is not optional but essential from day one — confirm the power feed compatibility with IWM before specifying this model
  • Your workshop electrical supply is single-phase only — speak to IWM to confirm the motor specification before proceeding, as this machine requires a 3-phase supply
  • You are running very high daily production volumes where a heavier-duty or more automated setup may be more appropriate — talk to IWM about the full Soukup range
