I recently picked up the Laguna ceramic blade guides for my Jet JWBS-18QT-3. The kit did not come with any guidance on the installation, and the only installation guide on Laguna’s site only addresses ACM and Meber bandsaws.
Looking for any knowledge the Creek might have on such retrofit. I found one comment where an individual mentioned installing the ceramic guides on an 18” Jet, and having to drill and tap into the housing of the saw.
Does anyone have any installation instructions for this saw? And if not, has anyone done this retrofit and can confirm that I need to drill and tap the housing in order to install the lower guide assembly?
I did reach out to Laguna technical support and their initial response was to point me at the installation guide for the ACM/Meber saws. Am still doing some back and forth with them but wanted to check out the knowledge here as well. The bandsaw is in pieces while waiting on some guidance/confirmation on which direction to proceed.
Appreciate all assistance you Creekers might provide.
