Provide a minimum of 3 feet of clear workspace in front of the electrical panel. Provide a minimum of 15 feet of clear workspace in front of in-feed and off-load areas. Power and Utilities Requirements For safe and effective operation confirm your incoming voltage and available amperage is equal to what the machine has been wired for at the factory. -

Page 16: Blades
Using high quality blades is an important factor in achieving the highest performance out of your Baker A/AX band resaw. Our machines are tested and set-up using Lenox blades sold by Ellington Industrial Supply. These are very good blades for use on the Baker and come highly recommended by the majority of Baker owners. -
Page 17: Changing Blade
CHANGING BLADES Removing Blade Turn power off, allow machine to come to a complete stop, and then perform lockout / tagout before proceeding. Use handle on left side of the head rig to lift door until it lies securely over the top of the head rig. -
Page 18: Blade Tracking
An important starting point for proper tracking is to ensure the face of the wheels aligns with one another. This can be checked with a straightedge. Use this method to start setting the tracking using the adjusters shown in the illustration below. -
Page 19: Drive Wheel Adjustments
If you find that you must move this wheel, you will find a set screw located under the rubber dust cap, on top of the square tube, on the back side of the head rig, directly behind the wheel. With this setscrew loosened, the wheel can be moved in or out, or removed completely. -
Page 20: Horizontal Adjustments
Horizontal Adjustments With the vertical alignment set correctly, compare the blade’s position at the top and bottom to its position on the left side of the wheel. If it is not the same, proceed to the next step. If the left side of the wheel needs to go “back,” turn the horizontal adjuster bolt clockwise. If the left side of the wheel needs to come forward, turn the horizontal adjuster bolt counter-clockwise. -
Page 21: Cutting Angle Adjustments
6 inches in front of the blade about 6 inches behind the blade. Set the blade height to the thickness of the metal plate. Use a straight edge to lie across the blade. Be sure the straight edge is between the teeth, because the set will give you inaccurate measurements. -
Page 22: Setting Guides
SETTING GUIDES Maintaining your guides and setting them properly is the easiest and most important thing you can do to insure the longest blade life possible, the fastest feed speeds and the best cutting accuracy as well as extending the life of the guides themselves. Important: Always make sure blade tracking and cutting angle are set properly before adjusting guides. - Page 23 Place the 6” mark of a 12” ruler in the middle of the blade between the blade teeth in the direction of the conveyor. By using the front edge of the guide block as a reference, set this surface at a right angle to the conveyor.
- Page 24 The guide wheels are designed for up and down adjustment, so when a groove is worn, you can move it so that it will wear in a different location. As the guide plates wear, they should be moved closer together so that they do not allow the blade to move up and down. The plates should be as tight on the blade as possible without inhibiting the blades movement.

Page 26: Conveyor Belts
Conveyor Belts If the conveyor belts ever need to be adjusted or replaced, use the belt extenders on the in- feed end of the machine. Each conveyor has two belt extenders on the in-feed end (one on each side). These should be used to tighten or loosen the belt conveyor. These adjustments should also be used to align the belt. -
Page 27: Powered Hold-Down
(Optional) Powered Hold-Down The Baker A/AX can be equipped with a powered hold-down that holds the wood in place while it is being cut. It can be placed closer to or further away from the blade by loosening the (2) front-to-back bolts on top of the hold-down assembly. -

Boards that look like the image below are almost always problems with the blade. A blade with more set on the top or with dull bottom teeth will cut bowed boards. Check with a good blade. If it is not the blade, check blade tension. -
