Cutting Angle Adjustments
If your Baker starts producing boards that are not square, your cutting angle may need to be
adjusted. Before proceeding, though, make sure your guides are set properly (see “
Setting
Guides
”) and your blade tracking is correct (see “
Blade Tracking
”).
Check the conveyor belt and look for an obstruction that may be caught underneath the belt.
If everything listed above is okay, then continue.
Determining the Problem
Start by moving the guides away from the blade. The guides should not be touching the
blade in any way.
Get two metal plates of the same thickness, approximately ½” x 6” x 4”.
With the machine off, locked out and tagged out, place one of the metal plates on the
conveyor about 5 inches in front of
the blade and the other about 5
inches behind the blade. Set the
blade height to the thickness of the
metal plates.
Use a straight edge to lie across
the metal plates and over the
blade. Be sure the straight edge is
between the teeth, because the set
will give you inaccurate
measurements.
Using this method, you will easily
be able to determine if the front of
the blade is tilted up or down.
If the blade is tilted in this manner,
the cutting angle needs front-to-
back adjustment. Always make the
front-to-back adjustments
first.
To determine whether a side-
to-side adjustment is
necessary, measure the
distance from the blade to the
main conveyor beam at the
right and the left of the
conveyor . Both distances
should be identical. If not,
make a side-to-side
adjustment.
Blade should be 1/32” higher in front
