Guide Block Grinding Fixture

Lodgepole · Post by **Lodgepole** » Sun Apr 05, 2009 1:40 pm

On Page 46 of the Bandsaw Manual is a fixture for grinding the bandsaw guide blocks. The total width of the fixture is 2 7/8". But, when I add up the dimensions ie, 1/4" slot, 7/8" on one side of the slot and 1 5/16" on the other side of the slot, I come up with 2 7/16"

Has anyone else built this fixture? And, if so, what dimensions did you use?

Thanks in advance for any assistance anyone can give me.

In my bs manual (page 40), the drawing does include those dimensionx, BUT the 7/8" dimension does NOT refer to the dimension opposite the 1/4" slot from the 1 5/16" dimension. The 7/8" refers to the distance from the edge to the start of the 30* cut on the opposite corner.
