I have a Delta 28-276 bandsaw, which I'm hoping to do a little (read
enough to pay for the cost of throwing away 1/2" of planer shavings on
about 40 bf of maple) re-sawing. Of course, as everyone else who has
ambitiously looked to do so with a 14" saw, the limitation of the 6"
is frustrating. So, I was planning on getting a riser block and a
105" blade to do some 9" maple re-sawing. But, in looking at the
Delta riser block kit, it's almost $120. I see the Jet/Powermatic and
other generic ones for around half of that. Currently, the Jet one is
on sale close to me and I was wondering if (since they all look very
similar) it would fit the Delta or not? If anyone has any experience/
advice using a non-Delta riser with the Delta saw, I'd appreciate it.

Can't answer your question, but before you do anything, have you tried
resawing 6" maple? Figure 9" will be twice as difficult. Still want to do
it?
