Guide Post

The guide post (shown in Figure 32) connects the upper blade guide assembly to the bandsaw. The function of the guidepost is to allow the blade guide assembly to move up or down depending on the height of the workpiece being cut. In order to cut accurately, the blade guide assembly must be no more than 1" from the top of the workpiece at all times—this positioning provides the greatest sup- port to the blade.
