Guide post

the guide post (shown in figure 28) connects
the upper blade guide assembly to the bandsaw.
the guidepost allows the blade guide assembly to
move up or down to be as close to the workpiece
as possible. in order to cut accurately and safely,
the bottom of the blade guide assembly must be
no more than 1" from the workpiece at all times—
this positioning provides the greatest support to
the blade and minimizes operator exposure to the
blade.

tracking, support bearing and blade guides
are adjusted correctly.
2.

figure 28.
3. raise/lower the guide post so the bottom of
the blade guide assembly is less than 1" from
the top of the workpiece.
