A turn down apparatus (14) is disclosed for guiding a hot rolled product (p) moving along a downwardly curved path. The apparatus (14) comprises a stationary support structure (24) having an open bottomed channel (26) following the contour of the curved path. The channel (26) has a top surface (28) overlying the path, sides (30) extending downwardly from the top surface, and ledges (32) projecting inwardly from the sides. Wear resistant inserts (34) are affixed in place in the channel. The inserts (34) are arranged to line the top surface of the channel, with sides of the inserts overlapping the inwardly projecting ledges (32), and with the lengths of the inserts defining chords of the curved path.
