Just what I needed:
I recently purchased my first bandsaw (used). It had the plastic blade guides that had to be constantly adjusted.I had begun shopping for a replacement,when I got the E-mail notice about the Jet guides on sale from Amazon.Since I also had a twenty dollarar coupon, this was perfect for me. The guides work great, were easy to install.They made my saw 100% better. John Oelze
Forget giving Carter $150 for basically the same thing.:
This is a very nice setup and works very well. Easy to install and adjustments are simple but do require an allen wrench. I got these on Amazon and used a program/promotional code, so they were even cheaper than they are listed, roughly half of what Carter charges for their ball bearing guides. If you are considering the Carter system, save the money, buy these and upgrade your spring and get a quick release with the difference. You won't regret buying these.
Blade guard doesn't fit with 3/4" blades:
Seems solidly built and easy to assemble, but after installing, I attempted to install the stock blade guide and it didn't fit when using a 3/4" blade (mount screws were position such that the blade guard would scrape against the blade teeth). I ended up disassembling the original guide and reusing the main "body", which was wider and as such allowed the guide to clear the blade. My Jet is a 14" closed base manufactured in 2002, perhaps they changed the blade guard design since then to make the bracket... more info
Great upgrade to your bandsaw:
I used to have trouble with the blade wandering. I couldn't seem to resaw stock on my bandsaw as well as other people could on their saw. One thing they all seemed to have in common was the Carter blade guides. These guides improved the perfomance of my saw tremendously. This is so much better than replacing cool-blocks. These guides never wear out and hold the blade steady. I am very pleased.
