Power is a problem, but if you are patient and don't force the material
a 14" Delta can resaw 12' cherry or oak. I do it often.

The results are worth it when you have a great piece of material!

The lack of power is something that's kept me second guessing, and I
don't think I'm going to be getting into a lot of resawing at this
time, so now I'm more confused than ever :-(

I guess I could resaw 5 inch boards and then glue them up - they're
for drawer sides/backs, but I've never edge glued anything less than
3/4" - can it be done with 1/2 boards - with or without biscuits?
Seems like they'd be mighty prone to buckle, unless I sandwich them,
or ??

I thought I read that the Grizzly riser kit can work with the Delta
saws. Resawing 6 inches of oak is plenty slow on my Delta. That is all
the wider I want or need to resaw for my current project so the stock
setup works fine.

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.

thanks,
