The GuidePRO for band saws offers capabilities and safety benefits not previously available. This innovative tool utilizes a flexible 6″ silicone feather that applies consistent pressure along the vertical edge of the workpiece just before the blade.
Ideal for cutting thin strips. Better yet, the flexible feather offers capabilities for cutting odd shape materials as the feather adjusts to variations in material shape. GuidePRO also functions as a dual side and top hold feather when cutting small pieces. The flexible feather is perfect for resaw applications where consistent material control is essential.
GuidePRO adds simplicity and convenience to cutting long boards. It holds material firm as it's fed into the blade while you support and feed the board. GuidePRO’s silicone feather is non-marring and acts to dampen vibration for a cleaner cut. GuidePRO sets up in mere seconds. Simply rotate the GuidePRO miter cam in the miter slot, use the comfortable ergonomic handle to apply desired pressure, and press the lever down. The applied pressure translates to torque on the miter cam which holds the GuidePRO in position.
Perhaps the hallmark of BOW innovation is safety. GuidePRO is positioned between your hands and the blade. As GuidePRO holds material firm at the point of cut, your hands are free to feed the wood. As always, finish the cut with the Bow PushPRO Push Stick featuring EVA tips. GuidePRO has a detachable base with imperial and metric scales for use as a measuring and squaring tool when setting the fence. GuidePRO comes with three miter cams to fit the range of tables: 3/4″, 5/8″, and 15mm miter slots.
GuidePRO has two “Must Have” accessories: The GuidePRO Extension has a 10″ feather for taller materials, and the GuidePRO Anchor Bar if you want to lock down the GuidePRO in the Miter slot. The Anchor Bar is ideal for repetitive cuts and enables GuidePRO to be used on Table Saws and Routers.
GuidePRO is another example of Bow Products revolutionary innovations that deliver new Capability, Better Cuts, and Improved Safety. If you want the most capability and safety out of your band saw, GuidePRO is a must-have tool.

I have always had some issues when resawing on the bandsaw. I picked up the GuidePRO to help with that. I was very impressed with how sturdy/solid it was once it was locked in. I also checked its perpendicularity to the table and all was good. Running my first board through the bandsaw went great. Much smoother cut and I was able to pay close attention to my feed rate and not worrying about the board moving away from the fence.
