- As I was looking for my receipt to inform you how to order one of these and I found the phone number to call him Direct his first name is Bill his business is C S Machinery. The number is 1 610 662 5311 his website is csmachinery@zoominternet.net you'll have to tell him if your guide bar is 15/16" or 1" or hexagon that's all he will need to know. And again if you need any help with alignment or installation put a note in the description below or email me at jandrwoodworking@gmail.com or jimsfixitshop@gmail.com then I'll be more than happy to help you. Bill said he was going to put a link to my CZcams channel to help with installation for whoever buys one of his risers I hope it helps. And as always keep your tool sharp your shop dusty and have fun , talk to you soon Jim.
Please ask questions in the comments. I am transitioning away from email. This way, people can get help from others' questions. Thanks!
Thanks for the video Jim. I called Bill and gave him the info for my Rockwell 14. I'll have one on the way in a little while. Let you know later how it works out and why I needed it.
Well you won’t be sorry I really enjoy mine and I haven’t found anything I couldn’t re-saw so far. Jim
I didn' know they made such things. Interesting video. Subscribed!
Excellent video!!
Well thanks for watching I hope your subscriber it’s free and it really helps me out. Jim
great video,Jim,thanks for sharing...with all of us......stay safe.
Thanks for watching if you have any questions please let me know. Jim
Excellent Pepsi ad placement, sir.
recently won an 8 in at auction and looking for ideas to get it to at least 12 inches. This vid was very informative for me.
Travis Brown
I also sell a Bearing that goes on the elevation screw so you can tighten the blade easier for resawing. Jim
Hi Travis
If you need any help with that bandsaw let me know I’d be glad to help you out.
And there’s no Pepsi sponsorship here, just drink a lot of Pepsi. Jim

I’ll have to give that a try thanks for the tip. Jim
The Grizzly kit has a different bar. Sometimes you have to make bushings from split 3/4 copper tubing and/or fittings. Delta also used different brackets and guard mounts at different times and slightly different models. The Grizzly guard also needs one hole modified. If the guides hit the blade differently in the upper and lower positions you have to shim the block on on or two sides.
Very informative thank you
Good video very informative
Well if there’s anyway I can help you or if you’re working on yours just let me know. Jim
The Jet kit looks like it will fit my Rigid
I used a grizzly kit on my vintage delta. Had to modify a few parts. Drill out new holes for the pins in the riser.
Question: What size shaft was yours and did you have to modify the grizzly to fit? Also did you need to modify the guard?
@@JS-ol7vu I had to order I believe a 1in hex shaft. I had to drill new dowel holes. The guard worked. All in I still saved $100 buying this kit over the delta kit.
do you have a video of the jig u use at the end. I just got a bs and it doesn't have a fence that jig could help. thanks
Señor muy bueno el tutorial gracias saludos donde se puede hordena el block extención gracias

Hi this is Jim, thanks for your comment I appreciate it I had to have my wife read it she does pretty good with Spanish, which state or country are you in I like to keep track of where my viewers are. Thanks again Jim
I thought you might want to know the Delta model #28-203 comes with the riser kit factory installed for the 12 inch cuts-however the saw then only cuts 13 inches wide due to the riser width.
Bob bailey
Hi Bob it’s Jim
The riser I put on my saw is the same size as the column itself, and I can still cut 14 inches between the blade and the column.
Is your riser block bigger than your column, did you buy the saw new or was it used, and did someone put the wrong riser block on. Thanks Jim
Nice video Jim!
A couple of questions...
Do you have a direct link to the riser kit? I have looked at CS Machinery's website and can't find any mention of bandsaw items. How did you hear about it? What did it cost?
Thanks!
Claire Houlihan
Hi Claire. I don't have a direct link with Bill I have his phone number which is 1-610-662-5311 and that is CS machinery and I think it was around $295 plus shipping it was expensive but for what I'm using it for and I've got the saw given to me by my uncle I figured that was cheap to be able to re-saw Lumber with it. If you have anymore questions or comments please feel free to send me an email or put them in the description box I hope you're subscribed and if you like the videos give them a thumbs up and will talk to you soon Jim
I just bought this saw for $300. it has new blade guides and includes the riser block (which I havent installed yet). Im assuming a 105" blade is what I want once the riser is put on. One difference is the motor is mounted on the right instead of the left like yours.
Flyingspyder
Well I hate to say it but if it’s in good shape you stole that I ordered a riser black for mine and it was $295 so you got a great deal, as far as where they mounted the motor I guess that doesn’t really matter it’s just odd they would put it where you would be standing to operate the saw. If you’re going to be resigning Lumber like I do you may want to go to the heavy duty spring to get more stretch on your blade and you will probably want to install one of the bearing blocks that I make for your elevation screw otherwise it may end up bending on you like mine did. just a thought. Jim.
I bought a new Delta 14" and installed a riser kit in 1995.
I am too old to do that now.
Clark Magnuson
Hi Clark
If you haven’t watched video number 72 it’s the second half it explains the bearing that I put underneath my elevation screw so you can tighten the blade tight enough to actually re-saw without any issues, And I do sell them for $20 apiece Plus a three dollar shipping fee, but at least watch the video it’ll give you an idea of how well it really works. Thanks Jim
I would love to know how feasible it is to use the Grizzly riser kit on an old Delta. Like yours, mine uses the 15/16 Bar.
J S
The pins and holes in a grizzly riser block is not going to line up with your Delta saw which will make the upper and lower blade guide way out of alignment. Jim
Jim, can you possibly tell me what the part number is for the table leveling pin is (right behind the rear trunnion)?
I seemed to have lost mine during the restoration process!
Stephanie Ray
Well first off let me say I’m sorry I just found your comment question, if you’re still looking for parts for that I have no paperwork for mine but there is a website that is called vintage machines.org and that’s all this guy does is works on old machines that would be your best bet. Jim
you need to build a fence for resawing if you want straight boards..
Hey Jim, thanks for the great video! What's the dust collection system in back (blue hoses)? I've been looking for something like this! Cheers :)
James Archer
Hi James it's Jim if you watch video number 84 I explain where you can get these parts the part numbers the name of the company and their one 800 phone number and they sell to anyone not just businesses thanks for your questions and comments and will talk to you soon Jim
I modify Grizzly kits regularly.
Are you still modifying Grizzly kits? I need one for my Delta 14" bandsaw. How much for the modified kit?
Thanks for the video!
Where is the place you get your blades from? Sounds like a good deal :)
Thanks!!!
Well they went up in price and they don’t give you a discount for buying 100 feet like they used to but where I get them is called Reid Tool they’re in Muskegon Michigan they do ship and their phone number is 231-777-3951 thanks. Jim
Hi, I wanted to ask you where can I get replacements from Delta, I have a band saw like that one but I need to get the top and some other parts…
There’s a couple spots on line called vintage machine parts. Com. check with them and see if they have what you need. Jim
did you say where you got the $7 blade from.
4bennybear Hi it's Jim
I get my bandsaw blades from Essentra Industrial supply 1-800-253-0421 but there will be a shipping and handling charge if they ship them I pick them up locally, if you check around near you, you could find someone locally that makes bandsaw blades you could get a lot cheaper. And I buy a dozen at a time you get them cheaper that way. Thanks Jim
Jim great video can you tell me where you ordered the kit from and part number
Thanks

I use Parts Tree.Com but you can use Jack’s small engines or Amazon or eBay, if you go on Parts Tree.Com. you can get a part number and search other sites. Jim
Jim I came across your video, I've just received a Delta model 28-303 band saw that's missing the table , blade guard and guide bar with bearing assy, . It looks similar to yours It looks like the kit you installed in your saw contains a few of the items I need . Do you know of a company that could supply hard to fine parts for the Delta bandsaws.thank you for your informative video . jim
James Grissom
Vintage machine supplies.com
Is one I came across it is online I guess just Google different vintage Machine sites and you may find something unfortunately I don’t know of anyone that has any parts for an old band Saw like that sorry I couldn’t help. Jim
Let me know if you find any good sites and I’ll reference it on a video. Jim
@@jimjackson9381 thank you for your assistance . I'll forward my findings . hopefully it will help others
I have a 28-274 delta 14 inch bandsaw and a lot of people are putting in a 6 inch riser blocks, but my bandsaw has a 3/4 horsepower motor. what size motor do you have and do you think a 3/4 horse motor is enough power to resaw a 12 inch piece of maple or even a softer wood ??????
Matt Dodaro
I have a three-quarter horse motor on mine and for what I've been cutting it works great I haven't cut 12 inches of maple or oak I would imagine it will work you'll just have to cut slower and make sure your blade is sharp if your blade isn't sharp it doesn't matter what size motor you have it's going to cut crooked and it's going to cut slow. Thanks jim
Looks like it was for a JET. I'm guessing by the color. I have a PowerMatic and my riser Block is the same color of the saw. Would have been nice if this was Gray. But asking them to repaint it I guess is asking too much.
Big Bear Hungry
Yes it probably was for a jet machine he must order them and you can tell he pulls the pins out of the one side and re-drill’s new holes and put the pins back in so when I got it it lined up perfectly. Jim
Glad you got some practice at putting/taking the blade on/off🤣
And the rippling off of the blade was probably due to you not feeding it through straight🤦♂️
where you get that extension
You need to call Bill his number is 1-610-266-5311he will ask you some questions about your saw and he will get you the right part thanks Jim
Hey Jim you have the number prefix 266 here but 662 at the top. which is it?
Scott Neely
It is. 1 610 662 5311 sorry about that. Thanks jim
What model is the Band saw
My bandsaw doesn't really have a model number it has a catalog number instead and it is 28-243F serial no. 87D184401 I hope this helps and let me know if there's anything I can do to help you. Jim
Should work that saw has been cloned for years and many of the parts can be swapped with other branded saws i believe Taiwan makes most of them in the same factory and i think it was Central Machiner(HarborFreight), Craftsman(Sears) , Powerkraft(Montgomery Wards , and of course Delta too ! they also made them for both woodworking and metal cutting models although the Metalworking saws were more expensive as a rule and more Woodworking ones were sold
Craig Monteforte
Well you will notice when you buy a riser block for a delta saw that the holes in the top of the block in the pins in the bottom have been relocated to fit the Delta saw they may be reproducing the saws but not all the parts are identical you will have to do some work to them to make them fit. Jim
Craig Monteforte maybe Rigid too. My Rigid looks the same other than the color
That's TOTALLY a Jet 6 inch riser kit.
Everett Lawson
Yes it probably is I don’t know, but it was re-machine to fit the old Delta saws. Jim
Thank you so much for posting, but I gotta ask you- were you sponsored by Pepsi?!
Stephanie Ray
No I don’t have any sponsors nor do I have any one that pays for my channel. Jim
you forgot to paint it to match your saw color
Where do you find paint to match a faded 50 year old saw. Jim
@@jimjackson9381 big box stores has spray cans that will come close
X conto mio non ha senso aggiungere altezza in base al diametro volani lama sottile se pretendi un taglio più alto rischi di andare storto o rompere la lama

The seller is on eBay as well. Search "Delta riser block" and it can be found.
