Does this saw has a raiser block kit option? Has anyone has the experience in installing it and its performance for resawing wider boards?

Yes it does have the riser block option. I ordered it when I bought my saw. I actually installed it by myself but its much easier if you have someone to hold the top part of the saw while you install the block. Its so heavy its hard to do by yourself. As far as sawing wide boards I have resawn Maple, Red Oak, Cherry & Walnut up to 8" wide. I would recommend getting a resaw blade because the factory blade wont do it. I got mine from Highland woodworking, and it works great. Hope this helps with your decision. I think its a good saw for the money.

Hi Tim, Great question! Common mechanic tools are all you need for this upgrade. Call Oella Saw and Tool at 410-465-6209 and we can send you an install manual.Dave

Yes that is correct. FYI I got rubber washers to allow me to raise them for hight. Used with jig saw any drill

yes, that's what holds your saw onto the stand. The other two items in the picture are intended to allow you to set your height/stop-depth. I really like mine, and it's much nicer (my opinion) than the Makita stand (steel). Gordon

It does not, you have to use original screws that came with your saw. Holes have been drilled in new plate to make it easy to set height.

The stand comes with 2 brackets that bolt to the base of the saw. They have a lot of play, so unless your saw has a bolt hole pattern out of the tolerance of the brackets it would fit. You could also attach your saw to a metal plate or plywood and then to the brackets and make it work. Keep in mind this fix would raise your saw that much higher and could limit your ability to use the extension arms as intended.

Amazon sells the ACCURA complete upper blade guide for 14" band saw by Accura that will replace the upper bearings if your saw has the 1/2" or 5/8" (I can't remember which it is) rod ACCURA may have the lower guides also. Check for blade guides at craftsman.com, Grizzly, Rigid, Harbor Freight, Jet and many others. They are all pretty much the same.

I checked your saw online and, with the exception of the base, it appears to be basically the same as mine. The existing fence appears to be the same and actually many parts on the various Rockwell saws were interchangeable. I would suggest that the Delta 36-T30 Fence will bolt right up after removal of the old fence system...and, I think you'll be glad you did it.

I actually have two of these. The first I have put in a Kreg PRS 1040 table with a Woodpecker fence. The table is pretty solid and the fence is super adjustable. That works well for everyday stuff. The second lift will go in the side extension of my table saw. This will help with longer stock. I've not tried it in any other tables.

I have the same problem. I have a Craftsman 12" 1hp bandsaw and need a riser kit. I don't know if the JET kit will work. If you find one that works, please post. Thanks.

No, but this is the best saw and value on the market. No comparison to anything I have ever owned and I have owned a lot of them. First time you use it you will be amazed at the quality and performance. Nothing like it!

I have the same saw. Check out Home Depot. I bought what's called a Universal Edge Guide. I had to do some minor filling on the mounting slots of the shoe of the saw. Works great!

Not directly out of the box, it goes from 0-5" by default. There is an optional 2" riser block accessory that will give you 7" capacity. It seems to have zero effect on the stability and accuracy of mine when I am cutting into oversized stock.

I have an old Delta too and it worked just fine. The issue is not the size of the rails, it is the size on the saw base and then the legs to the right. My legs that support the top were just a little short then the corner supports. So I put a small piece of luan on the corners across to each and the legs fit in into them. The base is nice to have if you want to move your saw around. Since I have purchased mine, I have NOT moved it.The key to using this base to move your saw is the size of your saw cabinet for the left area and then the position of your legs that hold the top. The size of the side rails have nothing to do with it. I have an old Delta too and it worked just fine.

Paul, I can't give you a direct answer. I used the riser on a Ridgid BS1400 and it worked fine. It is known to fit many other band saws. That being said if you Google "Ridgid bs1400 Grizzly H3051" you will get several pages of results, whereas Goggling "Delta 28-216 Grizzly H3051" returns no results which match the search terms. That seems to indicate that it won't fit out of the box. Also if you look at photos of the Grizzly riser, you will see pins in the riser, but if you look at a photo of the Delta riser, there are no pins. Based on my experience, my educated guess is the the Grizzly would probably work but only with modification.

Not that I'm aware of.at least mine did not. There is a box encasing the the lower part of the blade which fills with dust and debris that requires removal of four screws to empty. This is not a better part of the design of an otherwise good saw.
