Be certain the position of your blade is precisely maintained with this band saw guide set from Carter. This guide has a rugged ball bearing design, yet it's compact enough to fit the saw without compromising cut height or table tilt -- and it's lubricated and sealed for life. The bearings adjust forward, backward and side-to-side for maximum flexibility in blade size; this model accommodates blade widths from 1/8 inch up to 1 inch. Blade friction is reduced from the rolling bearings that contact the side of the blade, for a cooler blade and smoother cuts. This guide is easy to install and includes all mounting hardware and instructions.

Works like a champ. Needed to call customer service tech with a questions and they were most helpful.

This made my old saw so much easier and more accurate to use, I'm very satisfied with this product.

SO much better than those factory guides. Spend the money. Be careful to adjust the side rollers if you change to a wider blade. Unlike the block guides, these bearings are unforgiving and can roll the set out of the teeth! Mine had a funky alignment issue so I called the factory and talked to a live engineer who walked me through an extra step of adjustment that they built into the guides that is not in the manual. BTW, buy a 4" angled dust port and put it on the bottom of the bottom door of your old Delta.

Bought the alignment guides as an upgrade to my used bandsaw. Installing them was a great experience in getting to know my bandsaw. Smooth bearings, good purchase.

It was way off by 3/4". There are many many Delta 14" saws. I have a '90s Taiwan Delta 28-276 that I LOVE. The design & material used is quite primitive compared to the original Delta ingenious design. Bearings are noisy & finicky compared to cool blocks that are silent and smooth. These saws are so designed & reliable. The Carter Company tool shows hustlers are getting away with selling a mickey mouse kit that could have been designed professionally. They are sales barkers, not engineers.

My first cut was a re-saw of a 6" piece of walnut almost 3 feet long. It was almost the max capacity of my 14" saw but the cut was perfect. My guides arrived with a mismatched set screw but a call to the company quickly identified and solved the problem. The representative answered the phone without my having to work through numerous recordings, he spoke understandable English, quickly identified the problem and put a replacement screw in the mail. Nice!

After 34 years of service, the potmetal bracket holding the saw guides for my 14" Delta bandsaw broke. The stock Delta guides were not great in the first place and the rear thrust bearing was constantly freezing up, so I replaced the lot with the Carter all ball- bearing guides top and bottom. The installation was really easy, and the metric allen keys were provided, too - a very nice touch as I now have them in a small magnetic holder on the saw so they are handy whenever I need to make an adjustment. The guides work great. WHy did I wait so long is all I can say. The rear bearing is aligned properly and will never sieze up the way the old, poorly- designed Delta offset bearing did. Most importantly, in addition to being as smooth- operating as can be, the guides enable much better control of the blade. In the first app, resawing which was not possible before is now a breeze. Just for fun, not for a project, I tried some intricate, tight- radius cuts, and found that I could do them all correctly, first- pass, compared to the prior experience of having to constantly cut a bit and back off a bit, never getting a really smooth and continuous cut on the tight curves. The vendor delivered as promised and in perfect condition. This item should be one of the highest- priority purchases on every bandsaw owner's wish list.

I tried a cheaper brand, but they didn't fit my Delta 28-280 14" bandsaw. These fit as if they were made for the machine. (BTW, the parts manual for the 28-280 also includes models 28-203, 28-243, 28-275, and 28-283.)Installation was a snap, but do remove the table while installing the lower bearings. As usual for Carter, the instructions weren't great but the process is pretty straightforward. The adjustment was no problem.At this price point, you would hope they would be well-made. They are. I really admire the engineering. Can't recommend these enough. I just wish I had bought them sooner. The bandsaw blade is more stable than at any time in the past.
