Baker Products Band Tri-Scragg Mill

Description

The Baker Band Tri-Scragg Mill features the highest production possible with its three thin-kerf band heads. The two vertical heads slab the log while the horizontal head splits the block into two three-sided cants, ready to be resawn. Its superior design can optionally feature a log positioning system that helps to center and rotate logs before entering the mill.

Each machine is custom built for the length of your material. You get high production and low maintenance.

With this thin-kerf scragg you can utilize up to 80% of your log. You can’t get this combination of recovery and high throughput anywhere else on the market today!
