band saw riser
Something to ponder ...
I have an old Taiwanese 14" bandsaw, supplied by a now defunct company, AMT. It has the standard 6'' high cut. When new, a riser block was available as an add -on, but of course is no longer. I was thinking that I might make a block out of 3/4 oak boards, laminatd to the proper thickness to allow the use of the next size blade, thus gaining several inches and allowing more capacity for resawing and for trimming lumber to size for woodturning. Has any one done anything like this? Can I expect the oak to stand up without compressing or going slanted in some way? The pieces will be about 4' square with a 3/4" hole in the center for the bolt that holds the top of the bandsaw to the base. Will appreciate your comments. Doc Ron |
