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.

You need a lot of tension to resaw accurately. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sid Blum" <piano at sover.net> To: "Pianotech List" <pianotech at ptg.org> Sent: Sunday, March 04, 2007 4:44 AM Subject: Re: Band saw risers > http://www.tools-plus.com/delta-28-984.html?utm_medium=shopeng&utm_source=shopping&utm_term=DEA28-984&ZD84rE > > >Has anyone increased the height distance on their > >bandsaw to accomodate taller stock? > > > >I think I've heard of a "riser" being added between > >the upper and lower frame.
