Description
The CANTEK R-16 is an advanced bottom-cutting straight line ripsaw, engineered for high-precision solid wood processing. Unlike traditional rip saws, it cuts from below, forcing the workpiece onto the feed chain for superior stability and hold-down, ensuring exceptional cut quality and enhanced operator safety. Equipped with a 15HP direct drive motor, a 14″ rip saw blade, and precision engineering, the R-16 delivers clean, glue-joint quality cuts up to 8 feet long.
