December 18, 2025Dec 18 comment_367239 Cool blocks would automatically be removed out of the equation but what do you guys think would be the best fit guides for my Laguna 1412 for daily woodworking? Just trying to get everyone's opinion on this. Report
December 19, 2025Dec 19 comment_367255 Following along. IIRC the OEM guides are ceramic? I haven't researched what Carter offers for the 14/12. Report

I have not had any dealing with them. I did look up my "Bridgewood" 14" bandsaw and the parts pictured do not look like a direct replacement. My bandsaw has a hexagon post for the upper guide vertical adjustment. That's not what they pictured. Just saying... Report
