Guide Post
The guide post (shown in
Figure 42) connects
the upper blade guide assembly to the bandsaw.
The function of the guidepost is to allow the blade
guide assembly to move up or down depending
on the height of the workpiece being cut. In order
to cut accurately, the blade guide assembly must
be no more than 1" from the top of the workpiece
at all times—this positioning provides the greatest
support to the blade.
To adjust guide post assembly alignment on
the guide post:
1. Make sure that the blade tension, blade
tracking, support bearing, and blade guides
are adjusted correctly.
2. Loosen the guide post lock knob shown in
Figure 42.
3. Raise/lower the guide post to within 1" from
the top of the workpiece to the bottom of the
blade guide assembly.
4. Lock the guide post in place with the lock
knob.
