CANTEK | SR1100NDA 42″ Planer Sander
Increase efficiency by planing & sanding in a single pass.
The Cantek SR1100NDA 42” Planer Sander is designed to greatly increase your efficiency when planing and sanding solid wood components. The spiral insert cutterhead produces a fine finish and requires less horsepower than traditional straight knives. When a cutting edge becomes dull, you simply slide the head assembly out of the machine and rotate the knives to a fresh edge. The SRN series features an extra heavy-duty frame, industrial cast-iron pressure shoes, and cast-iron sanding head assemblies, which allow the SRN series to excel in high-production environments and demanding widebelt sanding applications. The SRN series is available with 1-4 sanding units and in widths of 24”, 36”, 42”, 52” and 63”. Sanding units can be rubber-covered contact drums, or combination sanding units (drum/platen) to suit production needs. It is also equipped with a user-friendly touch screen control for added convenience in adjusting the feed speed, thickness setting, and more. Special emphasis has been made to the safe operation of this sander with emergency devices on the infeed, outfeed, conveyor table, and access doors.

CANTEK SR1100NDA 42″ Planer Sander — Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the CANTEK SR1100NDA 42″ Planer Sander?
The CANTEK SR1100NDA is a 42-inch combination planer sander designed to calibrate and finish sand solid wood panels and composite materials in a single pass production workflow.
2. What does a planer sander do?
A planer sander combines a planing head for stock removal and thickness calibration with sanding heads for surface refinement, allowing shops to dimension and finish materials efficiently.
3. What industries benefit from the SR1100NDA?
This machine is ideal for cabinet manufacturers, furniture producers, millwork facilities, and panel processing shops requiring consistent thickness and high-quality surface preparation.
4. What is the maximum working width?
The machine offers a 42″ working width, accommodating standard cabinet panels, furniture components, and wide glued-up panels.
5. What materials can the SR1100NDA process?
It is suitable for solid wood panels, glued-up hardwood blanks, MDF, plywood, particleboard, and similar substrates used in woodworking production.
6. What is the advantage of combining planing and sanding?
Combining both functions reduces handling time, improves workflow efficiency, and ensures precise thickness control before final sanding.
7. Is this machine suitable for solid wood calibration?
Yes. The planer head allows significant material removal for flattening and thickness calibration of solid wood panels.
8. Can it be used for wide glued-up panels?
Yes. The 42″ width makes it suitable for wide table tops, door panels, and architectural millwork components.
9. Does it improve production consistency?
Yes. Automated feed control and calibrated head settings ensure repeatable thickness and surface quality from batch to batch.
