anybody retrofit their 14"Delta (or equiv.) bandsaw from 6 to 12 inch cut?

Hey Group,
Does anyone have experience with retrofitting their 14 inch bandsaw
with the 12 inch height/cut extension? Any comments on its performence
with regard to cutting power (Did you upgrade your motter if
necessary?) or tracking witht the increased cut? Thanks in advance for
your comments.
Marc

Yes, I do. Slight post/blade alignment issue exacerbated by increased
height. Shimmed. Tom

I have one of the new import deltas. I got the riser from the start
and installed it during initial setup. Setup and tuning was easy. I
haven't had any problems at all. It feels like it has plenty of power,
but to be honest, I haven't really resawed anything on it yet.

Hello Paul,
The saw does not have a model number. It is a regular open stand 14
inch model, about 10 or more years old.

Yes. I've had mine for decades. I got it to saw duck decoy blanks and
needed the increased height. I'm running a 3/4 horse motor, and Iturra
suggests that I put in a 1 1/2 HP. (I haven't found one cheap enough
yet.)

I also suggest you get the Iturra catalog and booklet. (No connection
etc.) It's full of goodies to enhance your saw.

Hello Marc,

I have a Grizzly G0555, with the raiser kit. I had to make a few
adjustments after installing the kit and the new, longer blade, but
they're the same adjustments I would make when I make any blade
replacement. Took a few minutes in addition to the time spent installing
the raiser block.
