Sears Craftsman 1 Curvemaster Scroll Cutting Guide
Engineered by BlackIron, the CRV CFT1 Curvemaster bandsaw guide is a curve cutting bandsaw attachment tailored for tight-radius scroll cutting on vintage Sears 12" Craftsman saws from 1990–1998. It offers tight-radius bandsaw blade support using a front-flex bearing guide system that allows lateral twist while maintaining forward thrust pressure. This Curvemaster bandsaw guide is a precision upgrade for those using older Craftsman saws equipped with Carter guide kits, giving you superior control for delicate, intricate blade paths.
