Ez Boardwalk model 40 runs 11/4" blades. I tried 11/2" and was very pleased with the results. I'm considering using only 11/2" blades in the future. My question is do I need to change roller guides to 11/2"? If I continue to run the smaller guides am I causing damage that will show up in the future? I appreciate any response from those with experience in running a wider blade.

I think you would experience greater blade deflection when you hit knots or when the blade gets dull.

I haven't tried 1.5 blades but as I own an EZ Boardwalk 40 I am curious to hear what other ones say. ffcool

I'd call Stanton and see what he has to say.
