A precision straight line ripsaw for high production with improved safety features.
The Cantek R18 bottom cutting straight line ripsaw is designed with performance and added safety in mind. Cutting from below forces the workpiece down on to the feed chain for superior hold down. In addition, the blade can project up above the workpiece to allow the gullet to clear the chips which leads to less heat buildup resulting in longer blade life and improved cut quality. The R18 is capable of producing a glue joint cut up to 12 feet. The powerful 20HP direct drive ensures optimum feed rates no matter what material or thickness you are cutting.
Why Cantek R18 Bottom Cutting Straight Line Ripsaw?
- Cutting from below has a distinct advantage in that the gullet of the sawblade projects above the stock to clear the shavings halfway through the cut providing for superior finish results and extended blade life
- Bottom cutting also forces the material down on to the chain surface providing for safer operation
- Powerful 20HP motor allows for optimum feed speeds no matter what the material or thickness
- Extended hold down assembly with guaranteed glue joint ripping from 1’ to 12’
- Precision cast-iron split feed chain with automatic lubrication for maximum wear protection
- Auto-lowering bottom anti-kickback finders to facilitate with lining up the workpiece on the table

SPECIFICATIONS
Full line CNC router and storage system double production and decrease lead times.
Case Study, Corporate, Machinery Solutions, Service and SupportCuisi-n-art, of Gatineau, Quebec, with an eye to the future, undertook a large construction project to double the size of their manufacturing facility and increase their production capacity. The centrepiece of their manufacturing plant expansion was implementing two Anderson Stratos Pro Full-Line CNC Routers and Schelling material storage system.
CNC Series: Vacuum, when design and efficiency mean everything.
Machinery SolutionsWhen it comes to vacuum, hold down a bigger pump is not necessarily the answer. More important is the design of the vacuum table and how efficient it is at holding small parts during machining operations.
CNC Series: Weight, where bigger is better.
