The guide wheels are designed for up and down adjustment, so when a groove is worn, you
can move it so that it will wear in a different location. As the guide plates wear, they should
be moved closer together so that they do not allow the blade to move up and down. The
plates should be as tight on the blade as possible without inhibiting the blades movement.
Eventually, you will have to replace worn guide wheels and plates. You should always keep
spare guide wheels and plates on hand. Under normal use, guide plates should last about 6
months if they are set properly. If your guide plates are lasting significantly less than this,
you probably do not have your guides adjusted properly.
