CANTEK | C14RS STRAIGHT LINE GLUE JOINT RIPSAW

Large capacity glue line ripsaw with precision straight line results.

The Cantek C14RS Straight Line Glue Joint Ripsaw is a single-blade ripsaw is geared towards the shop looking to increase efficiency in their ripping operations but cannot justify a multi-blade ripsaw.  With its precision cast iron chain and track assembly, and extended pressure section, the C14RS can produce a glue joint finish ready for panel glue-up right out of the saw.

Why Cantek C14RS Straight Line Glue Joint Ripsaw?

  • Produces a guaranteed glue joint finish to 15′, which eliminates the need to joint the material after ripping
  • Precision straight line feeding for parallel and accurate rip cuts
  • Eight hold down rollers over six rows ensure material is firmly held during cutting operations for a longer period resulting in a straighter, more precise cut
  • Powerful 20HP saw motor for even the most demanding rip applications
  • Maintenance-free chain track with the use of a reliable mechanical lubrication system
  • Variable feed speed by frequency inverter for optimum cutting results

  • Cast iron saw assembly, column, and table with superior vibration damping properties for optimum cutting results while ensuring long bearing and machine life.
  • Very rigid machine body with a welded steel frame
  • Absolute straight line feeding with glue joint to 15 ft.
  • FC35 cast iron chain track with double-V design ensures precision straight-line ripping with a long wear life
  • Precision Built Saw Arbor constructed of nickel-chrome steel, large diameter, accurately ground and dynamically balanced.
  • Arbor runs in precision angular contact type ball bearings (eliminates any radial run-out & axial thrust) – V Belt driven from below.
  • Mechanical operation chain oiler provides consistent lubrication to the chain track and automatically adjusts to your feed speed.
  • When oil runs low, a warning light will come on, and when it gets too low, the machine track stops running to avoid damage to the track.
  • Cast iron rip fence is mounted to a large diameter round guide rail with a quick-locking lever for effortless and accurate adjustment.
  • 3 sets of anti-kickback fingers: 2 top and 1 set in the table for added operator safety.
  • Soft start – Star Delta starter reduces the amp draw on startup.
  • Optional laser light to project the cutting line to achieve maximum material yield.

If you want to extend your cutter life, you need to produce an optimum chip load. And to achieve faster feed rates, you need to have axis servo drives large enough to move the machine’s mass at a rapid speed.
