Baker Products Heavy-Duty Gang Edger

Description

Designed for industrial production of lumber of considerable volume, the Baker Heavy-Duty Gang Edger turns waning, barky board edges into smooth, straight edges. It’s powered by a 75-HP TEFC electric motor, so it won’t be intimidated by the 3½-inch-thick flitches you may send through it.

Powered rollers keep the Heavy-Duty Gang Edger fed at a smooth, steady rate. Multiple spacers can be installed for different widths of cut. Order your edger with as many blades and spacers as you need. It comes with its own set of wrenches for making quick changes to the widths of cut settings.

As with all Baker equipment, the Heavy-Duty Gang Edger is built to last and process millions of board feet of lumber.
