GUIDES
When properly set and utilized, band blade guides provide better blade control and longer
blade life. Two types of blade guides are available for your Portable or Stationary Band
Sawmill. Specific instructions for each type of guide are outlined in the pages that follow.
Note: It is extremely important that the blade tracking be properly set before attempting any guide
adjustment. See the “Blade Tracking” section on page 44-45 for more information.
Bullet Guide: Four pins (called “bullets”)
provide blade support during cutting
operation.
Advantage:
• Requires less machine “down-time” to set,
re-set or replace
• Provides better control and consistency on
wider band blades
