I believe John was talking about Cool Blocks, which are phenolic guide blocks that won't damage the blade. With Laguna guides you have to replace the entire front section of the guides to use Cool Blocks. It wouldn't be cost-effective for me. I'm not sure if these will fit your saw, but It shows what I'm talking about. http://www.lagunatools.com/accessori...R-LT14-14SE-16
