Here you go! Testing with playing cards Before Cutting recess After -

@Beechwood Chip would you mind sharing a photo of the workaround? I'm sure I'll do this at someone and am not following what you did. TIA. -

Yup, putting a couple playing cards under the block solved the problem. For now I'll just use a dedicated stop block that has a cut out for the MatchFit track nut. I was thinking I'd route out the track, inlay a piece of wood, and cut a new MatchFit track at a better depth, but seriously, I'd have to be really bored before that happened. Thanks, Mark and Von for the support. -
The blade won't touch the guides unless you're trying to force the saw to do more than what it should be doing. Using a too dull blade is included under that category. Sort of the same with cutting with a chainsaw. The guys struggling are pushing too hard on the saw and probably not using a sharp blade. You cut with a light hand on a bandsaw just like you should with a chainsaw, and really any other saw. I put new ceramic guides on my 24" right after I brought it home after over 30 years of abuse in someone else's shop. I ran 10,000 lineal feet of Cypress through it, plus other smaller jobs since then, and the guides are just as good as when I put them on the saw. Here is a video of an old man cutting with a light hand with a hot rod chainsaw. He didn't work up a sweat cutting up this dead Maple tree. I'm glad to say that my pant size is a couple of sizes smaller now.. I'll have to show this to Pam.
