The upper guides on my bandsaw look like this:

I am wondering about the protrusion in the middle of the guide which can
also be seen here:

Should that be there or is it just a result of poor manufacturing (this is a
very cheap bandsaw)? On the lower guides, there is no protrusion like that.
Assuming it's a problem with the manufacturing, should I just file it off or
is there a better method?
Thank you for any responses.

Thanks for confirming my suspicions.

You get what you pay for I suppose.

Cheap bandsaw. Get a file and finish the job. They were probably made on
a screw machine that was not set up properly. You have to wonder what else
is hiding in that tool.

For not too much more money you could toss those guides and replace them
with far superior ceramic guides.
File it off. It should be flat. It's the result of the lathe part off tool
being above center. Poor workmanship.
