The guide post, shown in Figure 33, connects

the upper blade guide assembly to the bandsaw.

The guidepost allows the blade guide assembly to

move up or down via a rack and pinion. In order to

cut accurately, the blade guide assembly must be

no more than

1

⁄4" from the top of the workpiece at

all times—this positioning provides the best sup

-

port for the blade.

Guide Post

NEVER place fingers or hands in the line of

cut. In the event that something unexpected

happens, your hands or fingers may be

pulled into the blade. ALWAYS use a push

stick when ripping narrow pieces. Failure to

follow these warnings may result in serious

personal injury!
