ADJUSTABLE BLADE GUIDE FOR A BAND SAW

摘要

Adjustable blade guide assemblies and their methods of use are described. An adjustable blade guide assembly includes two lateral blade guides arranged to support opposing sides of a blade and a rear blade guide arranged to support a rear edge of the blade. The blade guides are moveable relative to the blade. The blade guide assembly includes biasing members associated with each blade guide which urge the blade guides in a direction away from the blade. Locking interfaces associated with each blade guide restrict displacement of the blade guides relative to the blade when the locking interfaces are in a locked configuration.
