I need to do something about the wood guide blocks on my 14" delta bandsaw. Previous owner lost the factory metal blocks. I have some worn solid carbide endmills 1/2'" diameter. Just use the round non sharpened ends to touch the blades. Similar to ceramic guides? They have a slight chamfer on the end. Any reason not to use them for the straight horizontal guides. I think there is one at 45 degrees under then table that I will make of steel or bronze. No good way to cut or grind that much carbide.
