? on using CoolBlocks on G0555 Bandsaw

[Tom Cooney]

Hey Gang,

I need to figure out how to use a small blade on my Grizzly G0555 bandsaw for an upcoming project. The saw comes with a great set of roller guides but the 3/16" blade I will be using requires block guides ... I am looking at Cool Blocks. Grizzly tech support wasn't much help.

Here's a section of the parts PDF which shows the Guide Assembly.

30369

What I would like to do is locate another drop-in assembly which can use blocks. Any clues where to start?

Thanks,

Tom

Tom,

Carter makes a narrow blade stabilizer that replaces the upper guides easily if you are using blades less than 1/4 inch.

I recently purchased one for my G0555 but have not yet had a chance to use it. You can see them at thebestthings web site.
