Lubricating the Blade
Baker Band Sawmills come standard with a drip type blade lubrication system. They are
designed to help prevent residue build up, provide some blade cooling, and maximize blade
life. The system consists of a holding tank, tank on/off valve and flow control/regulation
valve. The tank on/off valve is used to turn the drip “on” when running and “off” when not
in use, as well as ensure the tank will not leak during mill transport or during off usage
periods, nights, weekends, etc. The flow control/regulation valve is used to control the
amount of liquid flowing to the blade.
The type of lubricant used on the blade depends on the species of wood being cut.

Hardwoods (Oak, Cherry, Maple, etc.) do not contain high amounts of pitch. In this case,
water will be an adequate lubricant to use.

Soft and hard woods that do contain a high amount of pitch (Pine, Cedar, Spruce, Fur,
Hemlock, Hickory, Walnut, etc.) can stick to the blade and blade guides causing friction
and lead to rapid heat build-up and cause blade breakage. To prevent this, mix 1 cup of
powder detergent to 5 gallons of water in your drip tank.

For extreme build up on the blade, water-soluble oil can be used.
Diesel fuel or other flammable liquids should not be used as a lubricant. Baker Products
will not be held responsible for any damage if this caution is not adhered to. Petroleum
products will attack and damage rubber items such as hydraulic hoses and belts. These
products can also be harmful to the environment.
