Rikon Tool-Less Blade Guide System Retrofit Kit

Rikon Tool-Less Blade Guide System Retrofit Kit

These innovative, patent-pending guides make the setting of their precision ball bearing guides a fast & easy process – no wrenches are needed! Setting the guides takes just seconds. With just a turn of the large knobs, the bearings are freed of their previous positions. Internal springs that push on the rear bearing mounting posts will automatically force the bearings safely away from the Bandsaw blade. Then, by pushing on the guides’ rear posts or even using the knobs themselves, the bearings can be moved into your desired spot next to the blade and secured in position by a twist of the same knobs. The simplicity of this blade guide system is a feature that every woodworker will appreciate! The ball bearing guides are favored over ceramic guides as they reduce heat building friction, increase blade life and contribute to the smooth operation of the machine during cuts.
