“It was my first time running a saw mill, I was sawing up maple logs and was having difficulty keeping the blade from hunting up and down, I quit sawing and ordered up a set of ceramic guides( they were delivered to my door in only a couple days), the kit came with everything I needed to convert the saw over (minus the water fitting), I cut up the remaining 2000 board feet into 2”, and 1 1/8” boards with one live edge, I think I only had one incident of the blade wandering after the upgrade. I went through about six blades as a novice sawyer, the logs ended up having nails and lag screws and whatever else you can think of kids hammering into a tree over the last 50 years”
“These ceramic blade guides made a huge difference on my LM29. The cuts are more even with less blade dive. They also are much quieter than the roller guides. They are a bit pricey, but so far I am please with the improvement they have made. The only reason I don't give the 5 star rating is the price.”
