Carter makes an excellent guide for 1/8" blades but it's about $60. I
was going to buy one but can't bring myself to spend that much for a
little bit of aluminum, a bearing and a couple of screws.

I was originally planning on getting the Grizzly g0555 and g0566. The
small one for a 1/8" blade, and the big one for resawing and other
heavy stuff. I'm still trying to determine the right way to spend a
limited budget though. Someone mentioned getting just the g0566 and
finding new guides to handle the 1/8" blades. Does anyone know where I
can get these or recommend one over the other? One of the advantages
of two saws was to be able to have two blades and two guides installed
at once. Once I figure in the cost of the extra guides, maybe I'm most
of the way to the cost of the g0555. What does everyone think?
