I just took a set of cool block guides off of my Jet 14 inch bandsaw. It it also a Delta knock off just like the Grizzly saw. They look the same. I bet all of these saws are made in the same factories and the parts are probably interchangeable. You are welcome to to the guides I took off if you will pay the postage. If interested let me know how to get this accomplished. I would rather not put my email address here on the internet.

Lee Valley is a good source for Cool Blocks.

Got it thanks.
Grizzly has them. Don't remember how I found them but I changed mine over and got the parts from Grizzly. HATE those roller bearings.
Thanks. Managed to find a set. And you’re right, the bearing set up sucks. It’s such a pain in the ass to set up and never stays as I set it. I go thru bearings way faster than I feel I should.
That is why the big boy bandsaws use steel blocks! Bearings are a gimmick, not an upgrade.
I am almost finished restoring a 30" American and no ball bearing guides on that little saw.
