SCM 5HP 3-Phase 12" Industrial Cabinet Saw - TA12

Cantek TA series table saws are built for serious woodworkers. This 12" table saw boasts a 5HP, 3-phase motor that delivers the power you need to cut through material as thick as 4" (at 90°). Ideal for small production shops.

The large precision-ground & polished cast-iron table and saw unit ensure vibration-free cutting with optimum quality. The TA12 comes standard with a T-square rip fence equipped with a single locking lever to ensure the fence is square every time. The fence is set accurately in place by a dual metric/inch scale, which features a magnifying glass for easy visibility.

Safety is key on the TA12. This saw is equipped with a clear blade guard that adjusts to the height of the workpiece. The guard also has a built-in splitter and anti-kickback fingers to protect the operator. Blade height and angle adjustments are made via the two handwheels on the machine. The blade can tilt from 0 - 45° to the right.

The TA12 includes a miter gauge that runs in a T-slot on either the left or right side of the blade. It also comes with a  removeable 5/8" arbor and additional 5/8" dado arbor extension & throat plate.
