I think because it is restrictive and wouldn't allow the blade to "bend". The Carter Stabilizer is about blade mobility/flexibility and not constraining it in the way standard side supports would. Therefore, you completely remove the upper supports to install the Stabilizer, and the lower supports are disengaged.

Re: BS narrow blade stabilizer
Does anyone know if I can fit the stabilizer on my 9" bandsaw (for carving 3" and under pieces) so I can keep the Roller Guides on the 14" Grizzly for larger work?

They seem to have a lot of models of the blade stabilizer for many 14" saws, but not sure about smaller. I would give them a ring. They are a pretty small company, I believe, as the father and son (inventor) do the shows themselves.

Re: BS narrow blade stabilizer
Thanks Roger. I'll call them. I'll update this post when I learn more.
