SCM Roll Variable Speed Power Feeder w/ Universal Stand - DC70
The Cantek DC70 Short Stock Variable Speed Power Feeder is a patented 7-wheel variable speed power feeder and is the newest power feeder in the award-winning DC series line. For woodworkers looking for the capability of feeding smaller parts that tend to wobble with standard 3 & 4-wheel power feeders, the DC70 is the perfect fit. It is ideal for automatically feeding cabinet door parts, furniture parts, and more to a shaper.
Features
-
Capable of Feeding Short-Stock: Feed shorter parts while maintaining secure hold-down due to the shorter distance between the rollers from center to center
-
DC Brushless Servo Motor: Save over 75% in energy costs while producing similar torque as 1 horsepower AC motor feeders, especially at lower speeds
-
Instant 90° Memo-Locking Swivel Adjustment: Swivel the power feeder and lock it in instantly – perpendicular or parallel to the fence with the memo-locking feature not found on standard stock feeders
-
Variable Speed & Digital Controls: No more gear change-out. Easily identify your feed rate and change the speed with the turn of a button at 1 fpm increments until you reach your desired speed from 7-86 fpm
-
Universal Stand: The gooseneck attachment on the end of the Power Feeder Stand allows for a quick 90-degree adjustment to position the feeder against the table or at a perfect angle against the fence – No more tinkering around with the joints to make sure it is in perfect position. Also adjust the feeder to incline feed when needed. An incline feeding adjustment indicator helps position the feeder at the desired angle
- Ideal for feeding of short material
- 7-rolls at 2.36” (60mm) which are closely coupled with a center-to-center distance of 2.43” (61.7mm)
- Universal stand allows the operator to change the feeder for vertical to horizontal feeding direction or angles as desired
- DC brushless servo motor requires 75% less energy with high torque
- Infinitely variable feed speed from 7~86 FPM

Q&A
Maintenance Tips
- Clean feed rollers, support arms, and adjustment assemblies regularly to remove sawdust, resin, and debris.
- Inspect rollers for wear, cracking, hardening, or reduced grip and replace them when feeding performance declines.
- Check the variable-speed drive system and controls periodically to ensure smooth speed adjustments and consistent feeding.
- Lubricate bearings, pivot points, adjustment mechanisms, and moving joints according to the manufacturer's recommendations.
- Verify roller alignment and pressure settings before operation to ensure accurate and uniform stock feeding.
- Inspect the universal stand, mounting hardware, and support brackets regularly for stability and secure positioning.
- Keep the motor housing and ventilation openings free from dust buildup to prevent overheating.
- Check electrical cables, switches, and connections for signs of wear, damage, or loose fittings.
- Test locking mechanisms, speed controls, and safety features routinely to ensure reliable operation.
- Store the feeder in a clean, dry environment and protect it from moisture, impacts, and excessive vibration when not in use.
