The side guard needs just the top edge sanded down just a little bit, but not much at all. I could likely get away with not even doing that but I would like a little bit of clearance.
I figure I will give it a shot with this motor based on your response and another one saying it would be no problem.
Thanks for all the information I will let you know how it runs when its done on Wednesday.
