Overview

The secret is in the material! These guide blocks are made of Aluminum-Oxide - the same material used to make ceramic products for NASA. They create far less friction to provide a cooler running blade and truer tracking. You'll get guide block seat tolerance of +/-.005. Outlasts every other guideblock on the market!

I need to replace some blocks and these look to be better than standard blocks and far less expensive than the ideal roller guides.

Band saws use blocks on either side of the blade to control its tendency to wander from side to side and since friction developed, the blocks can become very hot and wear out. Ceramic blocks are very slippery and can handle high temperatures making them a better choice than many standard blocks and a less expensive alternative to ball bearing arrangements. They are highly recommended by woodworking experts.

Can I make these fit model vbs 1408 ?
Bubss on Jan 7, 2016
BEST ANSWER: Not that I can see just out of package. Perhaps with modification of bracket and the blocks this could be done. But again just out of package I don't believe they would work.
Will these fit the vans 1408 ?
Bubss on Jan 7, 2016
BEST ANSWER: Sorry, but I don't know. They were perfect in my Jet bandsaw. If you have the manual for your tool, see if it lists the guideblocks' dimensions and check against the dimensions of these. Also, I believe the guide blocks would be fairly standard for a 14: bandsaw. Good Luck!
Which set fits the powermatic bandsaws?
Stan L on Dec 28, 2015
BEST ANSWER: Sorry Stan,
I have a Jet Band saw and don't really know which blocks can be used on a Powermatic.

These are the next best thing...
These are the next best thing before going to the ball bearing type guides. They just never seem to ware.

These are better than roller guides...
We retrofitted our Laguna 18" saw with ceramic guides from SpaceAge Ceramics (which we got from Rockler). We have used various saws and guides in the past, but these are great. There is no heat buildup, they are quiet, less expensive than rollers, never wear, and don't clog up with sap.

They also have thrust bearings made of ceramic that are quiet and they don't spin - they are stationary - so they don't wear out like rollers.

These are great
Been using these guide blocks for years on 14" Jet. They work great and never wear, run cool. Recommended to anyone far all sawing.

They work ok
I previously owned a very nice bandsaw and it had roller guides, and I was spoiled by how good they worked. I unfortunately had to sell it for a move I made and ended up buying an older smaller bandsaw and decided to buy the ceramic inserts instead of the retro roller guides which were more expensive. I wish I had invested the money for the roller guides. The ceramic ones are ok but nothing will compare to a good set of roller guides.
