Roller guides are generally considered better than sandwich-type guides in sawmills because they offer superior blade stability, reduce vibration, and improve tracking, leading to smoother, more precise cuts and extended blade life.
Here’s a more detailed breakdown:

Blade Stability and Vibration Reduction:

Roller guides, with their rolling contact, provide a more consistent and stable support for the saw blade, minimizing the risk of blade instability, jumping, or shifting, which can lead to wavy cuts and premature blade breakage.

Improved Tracking:

The design of roller guides allows for better tracking of the blade, ensuring that it stays on the desired path and produces accurate cuts.

Extended Blade Life:

By reducing stress on the blade, roller guides help to prolong its lifespan, meaning you can cut more logs before needing to replace or sharpen the blade.

Forgiveness:

Roller guides are considered more forgiving to the blade, especially at high speeds, as they don’t clamp down as tightly as sandwich-type guides, which can lead to increased stress and potential damage.

Maintenance:

Roller guides typically require less maintenance than sandwich-type guides, as they are less prone to binding or sticking.

Heat Distribution:

The grooves on roller guides allow for even heat distribution, which can help prevent overheating and warping of the blade.

Durable:

Roller guides are typically made from durable materials like case-hardened steel and precision-ground bearings, ensuring long-lasting performance
