Greetings, Creekers,
I am putting a 1hp Dayton 220v motor on an older Delta 14" band saw with the riser block. Occasionally, I will be re-sawing some thicker stock. Delta does not differentiate the 3000 SFM blade speed between cutting 6" or 12" of stock. Would appreciate recommendations as to optimum blade speed for re-sawing. Also, anyone know from experience what is the optimum blade width and number of teeth for re-sawing on this machine?
Also, this saw did not come with the Delta rip fence and guides. Is it a good addition for general ripping and re-sawing or is there a better way to go? If anyone has a Delta rip fence and rails for sale, I would appreciate an e-mail at PackardV8@comcast.net.
thnx, jack vines
