4.1 Blade Guiding

The blade guide of the band saw model BAS 600
provides for an exact guiding of the saw blade.
With narrow saw blades ensure that the blade guide
guides the blade below the table properly both from the
rear and the sides. To achieve this set the guide bearings
close to the blade, to within 0.5 mm (fig. 14). The rear
thrust bearing (A) is set against the back of the blade,
also at a distance of 0.5 mm.
