Guide Post
Figure 39. Guide post controls.
The guide post, shown in Figure 39
, connects
the upper blade guide assembly to the bandsaw.
The guidepost allows the blade guide assembly
to move up or down via a rack and pinion. 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 best
support for the blade.
