Bandsaw table leveling screw too long

This is the guide Carter sells for using narrow blades in the SS Band Saw.

That guide works with thin stock of the kind usually cut with a jigsaw or scroll saw. There's no lower guide block to use with that blade guide, I don't know if anyone has tried it on a Shopsmith bandsaw. It is designed to work only on thin stock.

All true. I have one and have used it occasionally. It works as advertised.

Obviously, you have never watched the demo where they cut reindeer out of 2x4. I cut this

I have been looking at some demos now. My concern here was getting vertical cuts through wood for bandsaw boxes up to maximum depth in the Shopsmith, something just shy of 6 inches. Carter didn't recommend the guide for that usage, although in one demo I see it doing a good job up to several inches deep. My concern with the guide is the blade twisting in the cut. For now, the single stack of bearings I set up at their recommendation is doing a decent job with 1/8" blade, though it is only a little better than using cool blocks.
