Guide Post

The guide post (Figure 21) connects the upper blade guide assembly to the bandsaw. The func- tion of the guidepost is to allow the blade guide assembly to move up or down depending on the height of the meat being cut. The blade guide assembly must be no more than 1" from the top of the meat at all times—this positioning provides the greatest support to the blade.
