I prefer the ceramic guides. No moving parts.


Ironically, I would've preferred to get rotating disk or block guides -
which
is what virtually all the other saws on offer had. But the Jet's
workmanship
was a standout - head and shoulders above all the other Chinese/Taiwanese
made
saw, so I figured I'd put up with the ball bearing guides.

There you are. Perfection is a dream, shortcomings reality. If it's
"better than" where it counts, you just have to put up with what you have,
or put in the ceramics, which I would do, especially if I were sawing damp
wood. Actually, it's what I have, and what I do.
