    Description

    This is the
    EPIC
    ball bearing guide
    , the
    Next G
    eneration
    in guides for the Imported 18" band saw, check your
    Grizzly
    or Jet etc.
    Here's the best part:
    This guide cuts
    much
    higher
    than the original guide and
    WAY higher
    than the competition.
    In fact the lowest part of the guide is only 11/16" lower than the
    BOTTOM
    of the guide post
    , a big advantage for those cutting very thick material or re-sawing wide boards.
    I have manufactured over 4,500 of the first generation ball bearing guides and shipped them all over the USA and to over 30 countries, worldwide.

    Please examine the "Will it fit?" picture and confirm that those are your dimensions.
    You
    MUST
    do so before ordering this guide to insure that it will fit. It mounts with the locking screw on the back of the post. It handles blade widths from 1/8" to 1/2" in the single bearing mode, 5/8" to 3/4" in the dual bearing mode and will incredibly improve the accuracy, performance, blade life and provide a smoother running saw. It eliminates the metal on metal wear of guide blocks and the constant need of adjustment in an effort to control the blade. Unlike other guides there is no aluminum or die cast parts and no scraping along the side of a back up bearing. It's made of steel and will last a lifetime. Plus all the moving parts are easily replaceable. The fasteners are grade 8. The precision ball bearings are lubricated and sealed, the installation is easy and adjustment is simple.  We do not make the lower guides. This upper guide provides the control for the blade as it enters the wood. The blade is virtually locked straight ahead. Included is a manual for adjusting blade tension, blade tracking, installation and adjusting, etc.    Plus it's MADE IN USA.
    NOTICE:
    When you click on
    "BUY IT NOW"
    you are confirming that you have measured your saw and the measurements match those on the "Will it Fit" picture.
    If you ignore this step and it does not fit you are wasting time and money for both of us. Thank you.
