I have a Doall 1612-0M bandsaw. I have had it for quite a while, but never set it up to use. I have acquired all the manuals, but I am confused about the band guides. Is it really necessary to have different blade guides for every blade width I wish to use?. I have only one set on the machine and from what I can deduct from the parts manual, there are 3 different size guides that cover blade widths from 1/16" to 1" in width. These 3 different sizes also appear to have steel backup bearings, carbide backup bearings and a roller (bearing) set for high speed continuous use.
The reason I ask is that this could be very expensive to get them all knowing Doall pricing. So what is it everybody else does?
