I ordered a set of Carter upper & lower guide bearings for my MM16. I have been eying them for awhile and when Kevin Gregoire posted a link in the Deal’s & Discounts forum to Carter’s 25% off with free shipping sale, I jumped on it. Mr. Brown delivered them yesterday and I installed them this afternoon.
I am impressed with the overall fit & finish of the hardware. Installation was straight forward. I do have a problem with the design of the lower guide mount – installed, the guide is a good six inches below the bottom of the table and that seems excessive to me. I’m going to give Carter a call next week and see if they sent me the wrong bracket. If not, I will have to make one up myself.
Anyway, here’s the before & after pics.
