Designed for Baker Model AB Resaw
This replacement bandsaw blade is specified for the Baker Model AB, a compact, single-head horizontal band resaw designed to provide industrial cutting capability while using a relatively small floor space.
158-Inch Blade Length
The blade measures 158 inches (13 feet 2 inches) in length, matching the blade length specified for the Baker Model AB. Correct blade length is essential for proper installation, tensioning, and tracking.
1.25-Inch Blade Width
This product listing specifies a 1.25-inch blade width, providing a stable cutting profile for industrial lumber resawing applications.
Hardback Blade Construction
Baker's machine literature identifies a 13-foot-2-inch hardback blade configuration with a 1.25-inch width and 0.035-inch thickness. This construction is intended for the machine's industrial resawing requirements.
Versatile Lumber Processing
The Baker Model AB can process two-sided slabs, size three-sided and four-sided cants, and resaw boards. The compatible blade supports a variety of lumber-processing applications.
Thin-Kerf Cutting Performance
The machine has a standard kerf of approximately 0.072 inch. Specific blade configurations may allow a kerf below 1/16 inch, helping reduce material removal and sawdust waste.
Baker Guide Plate and Guide Wheel System
The machine uses Baker's exclusive guide plate and guide wheel system to hold the blade securely and support consistent blade positioning during cutting.
28-Inch CNC-Machined Band Wheels
The Baker Model AB features 28-inch-diameter, CNC-machined, dynamically balanced solid steel band wheels designed to support smooth blade movement and stable operation.
Mechanical Spring Blade Tensioning
The standard machine configuration uses mechanical spring blade tensioning to maintain appropriate blade tension and support reliable tracking.
6-Inch Material Feed Conveyor
The Model AB features a 6-inch-wide conveyor that supports material movement through the cutting area. Its fixed-height conveyor design also makes integration with other material-handling equipment easier.
Variable Feed Speed
The machine provides variable feed speeds from approximately 0 to 95 feet per minute, allowing operators to adjust material movement according to the wood, stock dimensions, and production requirements.
6-Inch by 12-Inch Material Capacity
The Baker Model AB accepts material up to 6 inches wide by 12 inches tall, making it suitable for processing smaller cants, slabs, and boards.
Compact, Space-Saving Design
The AB and ABX resaw range is designed for facilities that need industrial resawing capability without the footprint of larger equipment. The manufacturer's literature identifies a compact footprint of approximately 7 × 7 feet for the AB/ABX range.
Industrial Motor Options
The manufacturer literature specifies a 20 HP TEFC motor as standard for the Model AB, with an optional 30 HP motor. This provides power options for different production requirements.
Three-Phase Electrical Controls
The machine is available with three-phase electrical configurations and comes prewired with a NEMA 12 enclosure, motor starter, and overload protection.
Efficient Dust Collection
The machine features a 6 × 6-inch square dust outlet with a 90-degree adapter chute that provides a 4-inch round connection. Approximately 500 CFM of dust collection is recommended for the Model AB.
Easy Operation and Material Handling Integration
The adjustable headrig and fixed-height conveyor allow the machine to integrate with other material-handling systems. Its variable feed controls also support straightforward operation in lumber-processing environments.
