Trunnion mounted blade guide

A blade guide for adjusting an elongate blade of a sawmill, the blade having a longitudinal axis, the blade guide comprising:

• a guide body with a blade surface for lateral contact with the blade;
• a shaft extending from the guide body;
• a shaft block having a bore extending therethrough, the bore dimensioned to slidably receive the shaft therethrough;
• and
• a trunnion block pivotably coupled to the shaft block about a pivot, the pivot orientated generally parallel to the longitudinal axis of the blade, the trunnion block adapted to be securable to the sawmill;
• wherein pivoting the shaft block and, thereby, the shaft relative to the trunnion block causes the guide body to pivot and adjust the blade about the longitudinal axis,
• wherein a longitudinal axis of the blade guide corresponds with the longitudinal axis of the blade,
• wherein the pivoting of the shaft block and, thereby, the shaft includes pivoting the shaft block, and, thereby, the shaft about the pivot relative to the trunnion block which causes the guide body to pivot and adjust the blade about the longitudinal axis of the blade,
• the blade guide further comprising an angular adjustment protrusion positioned between the shaft block and the trunnion block, the angular adjustment protrusion oriented perpendicular to, and spaced apart from the pivot, configured to modify a pivot angle between the shaft block and the trunnion block;
• wherein engaging the angular adjustment protrusion pivots the shaft block and the shaft about the pivot relative to the trunnion block, thereby causing the guide body to pivot for adjusting the blade about the longitudinal axis of the blade.
