Baker Products Portable Band Sawmill Wood Buddy

Description

Now there’s an even greater selection of Baker Portable Band Sawmills to choose from! If you’ve been left out in the cold by high prices, then take a look at the new, economical Wood Buddy by Baker Products.

The Wood Buddy is designed to mill logs up to 28” diameter into valuable lumber and squares, and do it simply and economically.

The modular design allows you to attach additional 6’ track extensions, if necessary, to accommodate logs of any length. You can make the track as long as you need it to be.

If you don’t need a mill with all those extra “bells and whistles,” or if you own a wood shop or just want to turn fallen timber into nice boards and squares, then the Baker Wood Buddy is all you need.
