Designed for Baker CS X Applications
Specified for the Baker CS X Comer & Goer sawmill configuration, which uses cutting heads on both conveyors to process lumber in both directions.
170-Inch Blade Length
The supplied product listing specifies a 170-inch blade length. Confirm the required blade loop length against your machine's actual configuration before installation.
1-Inch Blade Width
The supplied listing specifies a 1-inch blade width. Blade width affects stability, tracking, and cutting performance, so verify compatibility with the installed blade guides.
Bi-Directional Lumber Cutting
The Baker CS X configuration features cutting heads on both conveyors, allowing boards to be cut during forward and return travel. This design helps reduce idle movement and supports higher production output.
Large Material Capacity
The Model D platform is specified to handle material up to 16 inches × 16 inches, making it suitable for substantial cants and lumber used in commercial resawing operations.
Thin-Kerf Cutting Technology
The machine platform uses thin-kerf band blades with a stated cutting kerf of approximately 0.072 inch. A narrower kerf can help reduce wood waste and improve lumber recovery.
Specialized Blade Guidance System
Baker Products uses low-profile flat guides, steel guide plates, and a guide wheel system to support blade alignment and stability during cutting.
Hydraulic Feedworks
The machine uses hydraulically powered feedworks and a powered hold-down system to control material movement during cutting.
Variable Feed Speed
The Model D platform provides variable feed speeds from approximately 10 to 60 feet per minute, allowing operators to adjust production rates according to material and cutting requirements.
Heavy-Duty Band Wheels
Standard 36-inch-diameter solid steel band wheels are CNC-machined and dynamically balanced to support smooth blade operation. An optional 28-inch wheel configuration is also available.
Blade Tensioning Options
Spring blade tensioning is standard on the Model D platform. Air or hydraulic blade tensioning can be specified as an upgrade, depending on the machine configuration.
Return Conveyor Compatibility
Optional return conveyors can help move processed lumber through the production line and support more efficient material handling.
High-Power Drive System
The Model D platform uses a 40 HP main drive motor per cutting head, with a 50 HP option available for demanding production requirements.
Separate Hydraulic Feedworks Motor
A dedicated 10 HP hydraulic feedworks motor powers the material-feed system and supports controlled lumber movement.
Industrial Dust Collection
The machine platform includes a 6-inch × 6-inch square dust chute with a 4-inch round adapter. Approximately 600 CFM of dust collection is recommended.
Built for Grade Lumber Production
The bi-directional cutting arrangement is designed for lumber producers seeking improved throughput, reduced return-pass time, and efficient processing of grade lumber.
