Hi,
They certainly won't fit "as is". From the look of the Axi ones I suspect you'd have to remove the rear clamp part of the castings and make some sort of interface to the chassis/post brackets on the Basato (I'm looking at the blown up diagram in the manual for mine). I think it would be a gamble and see how it goes. Certainly a lot of metalwork hacking needed :) You might get better mileage making replacement "inserts" in the existing guide frames and use diy block guides? Easiest may be just to replace with Scheppach ones... I don't know how expensive their spares are though.
Good luck

Rog,
when you say the guides are shot, what exactly do you mean by the word shot I've had a Basato 3 for a few years and the only trouble I've had,
was Graunch marks on the rear guide from the back of the blade.
I take it out, flatten the face on some emery cloth on the table, remount it and carry on. What's the problem with yours?

Hello Rog,

like John B, I used to flatten mine when they wore and eventually I got a new set direct from NMA Tools in Yorkshire.
However, since I fitted a "Meat & Fish" blade from Sharpquip, I've had very little wear.
I now suspect that I was pushing the wood too hard and causing the damage to the guide wheels through using lower quality blades.

I'll be watching this with interest as I've long thought that the design of the rear guide is the most naff engineering design since...well, I'm metaphor-less. I've got the Basato 5 and guess the guides are similar (sound like it). Only I can go one better! I get sparks off of mine from all that lovely metal on metal graunching.

Inadequate tension x excessive feed speed for blade sharpness
