Introduction

The model G0555LX and G0555LANV bandsaws come with 38" eccentrics (Part # P0555LX129) installed behind the guide bearings. An additional set of 14" eccentrics (Part # P0555LX136) has been included for easier guide bearing adjust- ments with 18" bandsaw blades.

The reduced thickness of the 14" eccentrics pro- vides more space for guide bearing adjustments with 18" blades, helping ensure blade support bearings will not damage the blade tooth set.
