Powermatic 12" Straight Line Rip Saw 15hp, 3-PH, 230V

The SLR12 Straight Line Rip Saw is engineered for high-demand wood production environments that need power, precision, and long-term reliability. Whether it's face frames, long runs, or full productions, the SLR12 has every job covered. Built around a full cast-iron body, this 12" rip saw delivers exceptional stability and vibration control, critical for true straight-line cutting in lumber mills, furniture shops, and construction manufacturing facilities.

A powerful 15HP motor drives consistent cutting performance through hardwoods, sheet goods, and heavy stock. The SLR12 includes five stock hold-downs paired with dual anti-kickback devices, ensuring every board is held securely in place for safe, accurate, and repeatable rips. The heavy-duty precision rip fence travels on a solid steel guide rail and is micro adjustable for fast set up.

Featured on the SLR12 are caterpillar feed chain blocks constructed of special grade cast-iron that is heat treated and precision machined. The track travels on hardened "V" way guides for rigidity and accuracy. For reduced maintenance and longer machine life, the SLR12 features an automatic conveyor chain oiler with shutoff control, keeping lubrication optimized and preventing unnecessary waste. All of this is driven by a 2HP feed motor with variable speed to perfect match feed rates with your production requirements.

Controls for rip width, cutting depth, and main and feed motors are mounted up front for fast job changes. This control console can be swung away if the operator needs more feeding space. With an 18" rip capacity and 3-7/8" depth of cut, the SLR12 handles a wide range of materials and production requirements. Whether you're processing rough lumber or prepping stock for downstream operations, this machine is built to maximize throughput and accuracy.
