This is the way to go...
By KRASSEL
I make a lot of bandsaw box's, so blade adjustment is pretty critical, especially with the smaller blades. This guide system is the way to go. The kit came with good instructions and only took twenty minutes to install. The added support that the guides give to the blade is worth every penny. I looked at the Carter set and the Jet set side by side and really couldn't tell the differance. So based on price I purchased the Jet guide set and am very pleased with it's performance. Adjustments are fast and easy to make even under the table. I bought another set to give to one of my friends as a birthday gift, and would reccomend them to anyone.Update...I read somewhere that these guides are not suited for small blades...I have to differ with that opinion. I use 3/16" blades a lot, and have no difficulty adjusting these guides to the blade. I like the way they support the blade, especially in tight radius cuts. It's true that with cool blocks you don't have to be very precise in your setup, as the cool blocks won't damage a blade if they come in contact with the teeth, but they also limit the "flex" a bit. Still feel these guides are the way to go. Highly recommend.

By S. Ignatz
The Carter-style roller bearings were very simple to install and adjust. I was able to go through the entire process in about 45 minutes (and that included cleaning the sawdust from the parts of the saw I haven't seen in years). Changing adjustments for different blades is also a snap.The saw now cuts perfectly. The saw stays on the line and cuts exactly where I want it to. Jet ought to make this device standard equipment for their bandsaws.

By Tim in Mint Hill
The roller guides are high on the list for anyone with a bandsaw using the graphite or other 'cool blocks'. I held off only so long as I could, and finally had my thrust bearing die on the original equipment. Why they have this bearing loaded from the side is beyond me. This is a terrible way to load a bearing, and I'd be surprised if all didn't prematurely wear out.The thrust bearing with the roller guides, on the other hand, is correctly loaded the way these little roller bearings should be, and I couldn't be happier with the better tracking of my blade.All that being said, not long after getting that set up...my belts bit the dust, one of them flew off. Don't wait to have this happen to you...could be nasty accident waiting to happen, as the blade could come off with you nearby. If your belts don't look 'nice', and don't feel pliable...replace them with urethane belts. Be sure to shop around, there are some places that sell 2 for price others sell for one.
