Scheppach Basato 4 and blade guides
I have a Scheppach Basato 4 and have been quite impressed by it. I recently purchased some replacement blades of varying sizes to cater for jobs from resawing to finer shaping work and I began to think about the guides as well as blade temperature. I know that the Scheppach has European guides installed and after performing a quick search I didn't have any luck finding replacement guides that perform the same function as those found on other bandsaws. To avoid confusion I am referring to those that are made from ceramic material that perform the function of guiding the blade without heating up thereby keeping the blade cool and extending it's life.
Is anyone aware of something similar for the Scheppach or alternately can the guides be replaced by a standard set allowing for the upgrade?

When roller guides came out I couldn't wait to get a set..... but soon found they have their own set of problems.
If the guide support mechanism is not a tight fit or perfectly perpendicular to the blade and you get a build-up of resin etc. on the blade, it knocks the rollers down out of alignment and tends to feed the blade forward out of the guides.
Have a look here for some thoughts on the Ceramic faced Euro guides...Ceramic bandsaw guides - advantages/opinions????
As to suppliers in Au, may need some tracking down.
I certainly would not recommend rollers.Last edited by ravna; 28th February 2011 at 04:38 PM. Reason: Add
