I tried the regular top and personally found too much friction from the extreme angle at the tip. This cost about $145 to build in material.

You can still use the carbide guides but make sure you use the 3 point bridged guides for extra abuse.

Jon, do you have a builder or a shop that you have used and would recommend?
