The guide post (shown in Figure 28) connects the upper blade guide assembly to the bandsaw. The guidepost allows the blade guide assembly to move up or down to be as close to the workpiece as possible. In order to cut accurately and safely, the bottom of the blade guide assembly must be no more than 1" from the workpiece at all times— this positioning provides the greatest support to the blade and minimizes operator exposure to the blade.
