Noth without a riser kit. Probably closer to 6in without the riser
kit

14in is the WHEEL diameter, NOT the resaw capability

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?
