Shop Fox W 1706 14" Guide Blocks
$60.00
SpaceAge ceramic guide blocks for the Shop Fox W1706 14" band saw, made to replace the factory roller-bearing side guides.
Made in the USA from industrial alumina-oxide ceramic (hardness 9.5), the same material used to make ceramic products for NASA. Ceramic creates far less friction than steel, phenolic or roller-bearing guides, so your blade runs cooler, tracks truer and lasts longer. Customers tell us they see up to 40% longer blade life.
- Less friction and a cooler-running blade
- Truer tracking and straighter cuts
- Quieter, smoother operation
- Lasts much longer than steel or roller-bearing guides
- Guide block seat tolerance of ±.005"
