SCM C12RSH 12" Glue Line Ripsaw (230V/460V) - C12RSH
The Cantek C12RSH Straight Line Glue Joint Ripsaw is a single-blade ripsaw geared towards the shop looking to increase efficiency in their ripping operations but can not justify a multi-blade ripsaw. With its precision cast iron chain and track assembly, and extended pressure section, the C12RSH can produce a glue joint finish ready for panel glue-up right out of the saw.
The machine table is made of heavy-duty cast iron, and the saw head assembly has superior vibration damping for optimum cut quality and wear resistance. The table is precision machined to ensure consistency through any operation. Double-V FC35 high-grade cast-iron chain pads to ensure long life and optimum precision.
The chain track assembly is also made from FC35 high-grade cast iron and has a double V-pattern to ensure absolute precision straight line cutting. Each rail has oil lubrication points so that constant and consistent lubrication is applied for superior wear resistance.
Never have to oil your machine’s chains yourself again! This machine features automatic mechanical chain lubrication. Lubricant flow rate can be adjusted automatically with the caterpillar chain feed speed variation. Plus, when lubrication runs out, the chain stops automatically, preventing damage to the machine.
Quick setting rip fence runs on a round cylindrical guide. A ruler scale will indicate the fence position and is quickly set in place using a locking lever. The fence is outfitted with a bearing on the bottom side for ease of travel. Fence is notched to pass over and under the table and top kickback fingers for faster change over.
Please note: Due to rebranding, images of machine features may differ in color. All features listed are still included with the machine.

Features
- Produces a guaranteed glue joint finish to 10′, 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
- 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
- Operator can conveniently adjust the feed speeds of the machine, ranging from 50 to 120 FPM
- Cast iron saw assembly, column, and table with superior vibration damping properties for optimum cutting results while ensuring long bearing and machine life
- Rigid machine body consists of a thick welded steel frame
- 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
- 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

Maintenance Tips
- Clean the saw blade area, table surface, feed system, and dust collection ports after each use.
- Inspect the 12" saw blade regularly for dullness, damaged teeth, or resin buildup and replace or sharpen as needed.
- Keep the dust extraction system operating efficiently to prevent debris accumulation and maintain cutting accuracy.
- Check feed rollers and pressure components for wear and ensure they provide consistent material feeding.
- Lubricate bearings, guides, chains, and moving assemblies according to the manufacturer's maintenance schedule.
- Verify blade alignment, fence settings, and feed system accuracy regularly to maintain glue-line quality cuts.
- Inspect drive belts for wear, cracking, or improper tension and adjust or replace when necessary.
- Check electrical controls, switches, wiring, and motor components for signs of wear or overheating.
- Test emergency stop functions, anti-kickback devices, and safety guards routinely to ensure safe operation.
- Keep the machine in a clean, dry environment and protect exposed metal surfaces from rust and corrosion
