Sage recommends placing the guides within 1/4 inch of specified measurement detailed to achieve projected performance of blank design)

File guides The foot of your guides should be filed in order for your thread to stack up your guide. You can use a bench grinder to do this. Be careful not to overheat the guide and Blue them.
