I don't have an answer to your question, but I'm curious why you want to
swap out the bearings for blocks? I love my bearings (also have the
G0555) -- did yours go south or something?

I was using a 3/16" blade, and the bearings took the set right off the
blade. I was only able to cut 1 table leg before the blade was shot and I
was just burning wood. When I called grizzly to find out what I did wrong,
they said anything less than 1/4" should use blocks instead of the bearings.
The bearings are fine on the 3/8" blade I got with the saw and a 1/2" that I
got from Suffolk.

Mark,
I have the guides already, its the guide holders that I'm after. I searched
google, and found a couple, but couldn't find out if they would fit the
grizzly or not.

A while back there was a thread where someone said he made his own blocks
out of (IIRC) hardwood. It may be helpful to DAGS.
