Continuous through feed end matcher producing tongue and groove on flooring & paneling.
The Cantek EM12 End Matcher is specially designed for machining tongue and groove (with or without bevels) on hardwood flooring and wall/ceiling paneling up to 12” wide. Its compact design with continuous through feed system allows for maximum output in a small space. Equipped with a user-friendly touch screen interface allow for simple operation with excellent performance and error diagnostics. The dual counter-rotating cutterheads produce both the tongue and groove simultaneously ensuring a perfect match. The anti-tear-out blocks and counter rotation of the heads ensure optimum cut quality without chipping or blowout. The insert style segmented cutterheads can be adjusted according to your desired tongue / groove thickness and can perform a micro-bevel or not. The variable speed infeed conveyor, variable feed speed, and variable cross-cutting speed allow the operator full control according to the type and size of material being run. The innovative clamps allow for simultaneous top and side clamping to ensure pieces are perfectly square for consistent end matching results.
For added productivity the EM12 End Matcher can be installed in-line with ourCFS100 Automatic Defect Cutoff Chop Sawto perform defecting and end matching in a single line. This greatly reduces the handling while increasing output with defect free flooring or paneling.

What a nice piece of machinery. I’ve used a few times on both soft and hardwood. The finished product is smooth with very little sanding required. I’ve had a bit of snipe at the end of some longer boards but it’s negligible and to be honest it’s probably my lack of patience. Nice addition to my small hobby shop. Well worth the money.
bartell has to be the worst company to deal with, they do not have service manuals available on their website, service is not great. their equipment is not build to withstand construction applications. the manuals you can find are super cryptic and drawn out by a toddler. it's too bad i can't leave a lower score i feel like one star is still too good for them. get your stuff figured out guys, stop slapping your name on chinese garbage
Awesome bucket, could use some better hose management
Love the build of the bucket itself, and the extra reach from the front-dump feature is really nice. However, the way they routed the hydraulic hoses by default left them dragging on the ground when scraping with the bucket. We had to add some loops to keep them from dragging. Otherwise, great product!
