I was wondering about that. Next to bearing side guides, the tension spring the most common upgrade I've seen in the catalogs.

Bearing guides..... ;~) some people like'm. I for a 2 week period owned a

18" Rikon and bought it thinking I was upgrading from a 12" Craftsman. I did not like the saw particularly because of the guide bearings. My experience was that if the wood is sticky or wet, it will stick to the bearing guides and "bang" against the blade creating all kinds of noise and vibration. This is "one" the reasons I returned it spend much more money and go with the Laguna with the ceramic guides.

Others have posted that they have not had an issue or felt the bearing problem was not enough to worry about.

Thanks Mike, I did that when I tried to write him and got the "demon".

Seemed more to me like it stuck to the blade and the roller bearings pressed it tight. In either case, I put some TopCote or equivalent thereof on the blade and the problem went away.

But it is a common complaint about roller guides.
