Marcus,
Just a note / hint / tip . . .

About a year ago, after a LOT of agonizing, I bought a 14inch bandsaw. {Yes,
I looked at the Griz, but decided on a JET}. The saw came with their
interpretation of 'Cool Blocks'. Because I didn't think I would be using
narrow blades, I swapped them out for Ceramic ones.

I set up the machine and really haven had any problems. I don't use it a
great deal, so the unit is actually BETTER them I AM - at the moment. 1/4
inch is the thinnest blade used - to date.

I have the original blocks in the 'parts box', and will probably make a
couple of 'sets' from hardwood {WD40 impregnated ?}. The reason is simple -
I have a couple of projects / plans that will require 1/8 in blades. From
what I have read {and experienced with the 4Tpi 1/4 in blade}, there is
another level of control when you can 'bury' the blade beyond the gullet.
There *REALLY* isn't much to work with on a 1/4 inch . . . I can only
imagine a 1/8 inch.

Regards & Good Luck,

I suspect that in my early "tuning" now called "butchering" of the
setup, that I got the guide bearings to close to the teeth and that
pinched them shut.
