Overview
The Cantek R18 Bottom Cutting Straight Line Ripsaw is a precision straight line ripsaw built for high-volume production with added safety features. Cutting from below forces the workpiece down onto the feed chain for superior hold-down, and lets the blade's gullet clear chips above the workpiece for less heat buildup, longer blade life, and improved cut quality. A powerful 20 HP direct drive delivers optimum feed rates for any material or thickness, with guaranteed glue-joint ripping up to 12 feet.
