Band saw risers

[Fenton Murray]

There is an aftermarket spacer made for your  Delta. I don't know if
pinblock material will work, I'm not even sure of the results with the steel
one. The main issue is the amount of tension you can put on the saw before
it begins to deform. You need a lot of tension to resaw accurately.
