Cool blocks will handle really narrow blades - with wear, of course - if you
use wide blades, ceramics will certainly substitute, but teeth suffer when
they make contact!

I keep both, going to cool blocks at 1/4" and below.

I didn't mail the letter yet. Are the ceramic guide blocks better than
the graphite blocks? They're only $4 more. I've heard so muuch about
Cool Blocks I figured I'd order them. But the ceramic ones never wear
out, right?
