My older Italian made Laguna LT 18 has ceramic blade guides far superior to roller bearings as they keep the blade and bearings free of pitch build up and eliminate the annoying roller bearing guide noise not to mention fight blade twisting so I can see how this "Blade Lock Guide" is ingenious, well done!
Ceramic guides are great! Just need to be careful with setup as they can strip bandsaw teeth if setup incorrectly. Thanks very much! Glad you like it 🙂

Sounds like an excellent product that also can make resawing more precise. I just went to order it for my Delta, it's Sold Out. I emailed to ask to be notified when it is available again, or to be allowed to preorder for your next stock. Thanks.
I like the concept however, I think they need to be adjustable front to back as well so you can set them at the base of the valleys and not interfere with the setting of the teeth or the carbides if it is a resaw blade. to me what it does is bring the bottom guides to the top of the table. I think though if all your guides are properly adjusted and your saw blade properly tensioned this might be superfluous.
There should be an adjustment forward and back because it looks like you are forward of the gullets on smaller blades and in one of your other videos you told us that this would dull the blade or take out the right-left- angling of the cutting edge. Otherwise I think you have a great idea here.
That’s the beauty of the phenolic/graphite lock blocks. The teeth can cut into them without any risk of teeth damage. Because of this there is no need for a forward and back adjustment 🙂
I just ordered a set for my Rikon 14”. Question please- if I understand correctly, the first time you use it you are creating the opening based on your blade running ‘through’ it. So does it not work as well when you switch back and forth between blades as it’s set to the first one used? Thanks.
@@StockroomSupplyokay that’s great to know. Sorry if you stated and I missed that. Can I order extra inserts to accommodate different blades or perhaps not necessary if it’s the same size blade even if a different brand?
You definitely can! We haven’t got them listed on the website yet…just respond to your order confirmation you’d like extra lock blocks and how many. Thanks!
So, obviously, this insert doesn't mess up the set in the teeth, like the bandsaw guides themselves would, if you didn't set the blade correctly between them. But, if you used a very narrow blade, that cuts away a small part of the insert parts, wouldn't that then leave a small gap, when going back to the wider blade?
great invention: My only question is what about the tooth-set? Will I need to file out the blocks so they don’t zero out the tooth-set? -Looking forward to ordering & implementing this new invention.
Thanks very much! The lock block material is phenolic impregnated with graphite. It is tough, wear resistant, self lubricating and can be machined with standard wood cutting tools. You can cut into the guides with no ill effect on your bandsaw blade. Thanks again!
@@thomaszarnoth1436 yes it will! But blade drift can be eliminated easily if you understand it. This video explains more - th-cam.com/video/5M9oOS_UPWQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=3jNV3vK6YnBRdgqc
maybe you should watch your video with insert and table covered in sawdust with no dust collection. a table saw blade has gullets to remove saw dust from top of table to be removed by dust collection.
At this point no…but definitely on the radar! If you could send us some measurements and pictures of the Shop Smith insert and we can see if it’s feasible. Info@stockroomsupply.com Thanks for watching!
so I just measured the insert on the Jet JWBS-18 its 2.5" wonder if that delta clone would work or not? The Jet inserts do have tiny little half moon cuts outs for locking them in place 90 degrees on either side of the blade. Easy enough to drill out. What do you think @EthhanMoore @StockroomSupply Will it work?
The body is made from a carbon fibre polyester blend with phenolic/canvas/graphite guides with all stainless steel hardware. A piece of plastic may be an oversimplification 🙂
if this was a good idea the bandsaw company would already have had it the bottom guides are right under the hole in table all this does is causes sawdust to build up on table and get under work piece.
I haven’t found it to be an issue whatsoever! Remember every zero clearance insert on any machine(bandsaw, scrollsaw, tablesaw etc) works the same way. The BladeLock actually does a bit better than a standard zero clearance insert as it has holes to improve dust collection. Thanks for watching!

Just got mine. Works great. Seems obvious now but no one else thought of it. Good for you!
Happy you are liking yours and thankyou!!
Simple and sort of obvious, but nobody thought of it before. Genius!
Thanks! It is super simple but works so well!
You guys are always thinking. Love it.
Thanks so much!
This is one of those items where I'd like to try before I buy.

Brilliant! I hope you've got a patent. Since you don't (yet?) offer one for Felder I will copy the concept. Thanks for the idea!
Thanks! Felder will be coming soon! Next on the docket after Laguna 👍
Yes I want one. I have a ten inch Rycon bandsaw. How do I reach you ?

Ethan great job.
Thanks so much! And thanks for watching
Looks like this is made for rikon. Do they fit Jet and other bandsaws??
Yes sir! Jet has made a couple different sizes of round inserts, 2.5” and 2.75”. Make sure you measure your before ordering 🙂
Ethan. This is awesome. Well done.
Is a Laguna version coming?
Thanks! And very soon! They will be available around the end of the month
When do you expect the BladeLock Guides to start shipping?
Late this week or early next week 🙂
Will it work with a tilting table?
You will need remove the BladeLock when tilting the table, so no it will not.

That’s right! Though you can rotate the lock blocks 4 different ways to have it set for different size blades

But, if you used a very narrow blade, that cuts away a small part of the insert parts, wouldn't that then leave a small gap, when going back to the wider blade?
Yes that’s right! When switching blades it is best to dedicate one of the 4 sides of the insert to each blade size. Extra inserts are also available!
Do you have one that will fit a Craftsman model 113.243411 with a 3 3/8" diameter opening?
At this point we don't. But you could make an adapter ring if you had a lathe.
Thanks for watching!
I have Harvey bandsaw do you have this?
Not yet! But they will be available by the end of the month or so
How much is the price of the replacement guide blocks and how do I order?

The lock block material is phenolic impregnated with graphite. It is tough, wear resistant, self lubricating and can be machined with standard wood cutting tools. You can cut into the guides with no ill effect on your bandsaw blade.

I was just going to ask that too!
can I get this in the UK
We can certainly ship! Send us an email with your address and we can get you a quote - info@stockroomsupply.com
This does look like a great product. Do they fit all bandsaw?
Thanks and we are working on it! So far we have them to fit nearly all round insert saws…what type of bandsaw do you have?
@@StockroomSupply Harvey Ambassador 14”
Will the material that guides the blade dull the blade?
Nope! They can be cut with the blade teeth with no risk of blade damage
Will this help with blade drift too?
@@thomaszarnoth1436 yes it will! But blade drift can be eliminated easily if you understand it. This video explains more - th-cam.com/video/5M9oOS_UPWQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=3jNV3vK6YnBRdgqc
Any of those fit the Porter Cable band saw.
Is it a 14” porter cable with a 2.5” round insert? If so yes!
this might be a nice upgrade for my 1915 crescent 20, it never had a lower guide
It might be! Feel free to send a little info on the insert size and we may be able to get one that fits. Info@stockroomsupply.com
@@StockroomSupply there is a round hole with a shoulder. even if i had to turn an "adaptor" from a hardwood piece
@@StockroomSupply the hole is 3" and it's 5/16 to the top of the shoulder from the table surface
All models are already sold out??
@@ljgault just fixed! Sorry bout that
Bet you don't have one to fit an early 60's Montgomery Wards bandsaw, I have to cut down, and reweld blades for it, as no one sells the right length.😆
Probably not! lol what size is the insert hole?
1.125. I have a Harbor Freight that's 2.5, but I think I paid less for the saw than the price of your guide. Thank anyway. @StockroomSupply

@@StockroomSupply Most of the questions that you are asked suggest to me that these people shouldn't be allowed anywhere near machinery.
Challenge for you. Sears model # 103.0103. Insert is about 1.24" or 1.25" diameter.
Bad news…the insert size is too small to accommodate the BladeLock insert. The lock blocks are 3/4” square alone. Thanks for watching!
