Are the Ceramic Blade Guides for the Norwood LM2000 a worth while investment? I was also thinking of getting a set of Cam Dogs for it too....

     Don't know about the ceramic blade guides; I never bothered with them.  The cam dogs are great!

I have them on my MX34. Actually dropped a lower one and had to order new. Not cheap. What is happening with your mill that makes you consider a change? They do give stability across the entire blade. The back ones need to be turned occationally to extend their life. Did I say not cheap??   ;D
If it was easy, everyone would be doing it!

Wood-Mizer has moved away from ceramic guides.   Not sure why though.  I replaced mine with metal guides a couple years ago.
Been there, done that.   Never got caught [/b]
Retired and not doing much anymore and still not getting caught

I think Wood-Mizer now has a material that resembles brake pads, like on your car/truck that replaces the ceramic disc!

With basic mechanical skills and the ability to read you can maintain a Woodmizer  LT40!
