Guide Post
The guide post (Figure 21) connects the upper
blade guide assembly to the bandsaw. The func-
tion of the guidepost is to allow the blade guide
assembly to move up or down depending on the
height of the meat being cut. The blade guide
assembly must be no more than 1" from the top
of the meat at all times—this positioning provides
the greatest support to the blade.
