Thread: guide blocks

Why not cut some redgum blocks and soak them in linseed oil for a couple of days, save a bundle and they work just as well.
The other plus is if the adjustment moves and the blade slides into the guides it won't damage the kerf.

I've had good luck with the ceramic guides.

Justin,

I fitted roller guides from new, so I don't have anything to compare with, let's just say I have no need to try anything else!


Cheers,
