The Delta 28-475X bandsaw has 14 in. wheels, a 1.5 HP motor, and
a resaw capacity of 12 in. (with riser block). Costs $900, made in
the US, gets good reviews. I'm seriously thinking about acquiring one.

Someone told me recently that the real resaw capacity when cutting
hardwood on this machine is actually only somewhere between 6 and 8 in.

So now I'm wondering: Assuming I have a good resawing blade, will
this machine resaw up to 12 in. of hardwood? Anyone had experience
actually doing this?

Now just who told you that and why?

Others seem to disagree.

I'm sure you can get faster, maybe better results from a 21" Laguna but
this one seems to work.
