- This is how I install the extension table on my saw and the thrust bearing under the tensioning rod on the back of the saw hope you found it helpful or entertaining one of the two if you have anymore questions or comments put them down below under the video or email me at jandrwoodworking2@gmail.com or jimsfixitshop@gmail.com and as always, keep your tool sharp your shop dusty and will 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!
Jim, I like your idea for supporting logs you are going to resaw. I’ve had a Delta 14” bandsaw for several years, I often considered adding a riser block but never did.
Recently another Delta 14” bandsaw was for sale near where I live. I ended up buying that bandsaw and going through a complete inspection/replacement of some needed parts to include adding a riser block setup. I’ve been racking my brain on how I should support the logs I want to resaw. You method looks like it will work for me.
YOUR SAW CUTS WELL. I BOUGHT A HEAVY SPRING FOR MY DELTA 14 SAW, SPRING IS YELLOW. PS, NEW SUBSCRIBER‼️‼️ Vinny 🇺🇸
With the extra spring tension you have on your elevation screw did you add the bearing cup between the elevation screw and the frame of your saw it makes it much easier to crank it up and it also stops the screw from walking around on the frame and bending your elevation rod. Jim.
From the thumbnail I thought you were Norm. I will give you a like anyway :)
Thanks. That helps hope you can subscribe that helps to and is free. Jim
Ronald Haynes. I got your question from the comment box and I would like you to email me at Jimsfixitshop@gmail.com I went and purchased a dozen bearing assemblies and I'm going to make the cups to hold them so they can be mounted on these old delta bandsaw us if you are interested in one I'll make sure you get one at cost. Thanks Jim
Hey Ron it's Jim
If you were interested in two sets of bearings and a drawing of how to make the cups I'll send them to you in a letter through the post office the bearings are three dollars a set. Let me know what you think thanks Jim
Thanks for sharing! I really like your log sled. I got a great deal on the same saw with riser block. Just curious, are you using the stock steel guides or something else? Also wondering what horsepower motor you’re using. Thanks again!
Yes, I’m using the standard guides and it has a one horse motor on it but I did design and make a bearing that goes underneath the elevation screw that really helps Jim
Man you look like norm
Can you please let me know the particulars of the thrust bearing (size and where you got it) you used for this project? I would like to take advantage of your research instead of starting from scratch. Many thanks! Dave

I do sell them complete and ready to use. Jim
@@jimjackson9381 Thanks for the response, JIm. I actually have the bearing cup all roughed out and was just looking for a source for the bearing......

Hey Dave this is Jim
I am actually not at home right now I’m on vacation in Tennessee I should be home by Saturday and I’ll get you the information on the bearings that fit in the cup, If I don’t get back with you by Monday send me another notification and I’ll get you the information you need. Jim
Hey Dave it’s Jim
I got home a day early I found the bearings that you’re looking for I have some in front of me I can take a picture of them and send them to you but I need your email and the state that you live in, mine is

Thanks. Jim
I noticed your saw has been cutting extremely well. I guess it would be a skip-tooth type. What blade are you using? Width, tooth style, and brand appreciated. I guess it would be a skip-tooth type.
Also, can you specify the bearing used? Thanks!
I have the same type of Delta saw, but mine has a gearbox intended to also cut metal. I have a Delta riser kit, but never installed it. Now I am (just now) setting my saw up in a new location. I see logs all over the place that I had to pass up because I had no way to process them.

Hi this is Jim and if you have a riser block I would definitely install it, it is really nice to have the extra capacity to cut whenever you need to, the blades I use are you regular tooth Half inch wide three teeth per inch I have a made locally , they run me about six dollars a piece thanks for your interest in comments I hope you're subscribed lot more videos coming. Talk to you soon Jim
Can you share your Blade Source?

I get my bandsaw blades from a local tool supply house it's where we buy our drills and taps reamers nuts and bolts just typical supplies for the shop where I work and I found out they make bandsaw blades so I order them from them but the area you live in you should have such a supply place that you could order from and if you can pick them up locally you won't have all the handling and shipping charges if you can't find them locally let me know and I'll see what I can do thanks Jim
Hi it's Jim
And I think I owe you a huge apology, because of a Nother viewers question I found your original question on my bandsaw you asked about the bearing, are you talking about the bearing assembly that I put on my elevation screw on the backside of my bandsaw, if so tomorrow after work I am going to stop and order a dozen of these bearings sets and I'm going to make the cups that they fit into on the saw if you were interested in one I will make sure I get it to you. Again I apologize for my oversight and I will talk to you soon. Jim. Contact me through Jimsfixitshop@Gmail.com

How much are the bearing kits you make for the bandsaw elevation screw?
Thanks, Roger
Hi Jim, I have a Homecraft Delta 10" 1953 band saw and am trying to find a riser block for it, I have been in touch with Delta and they say they only make one that fits the 14" band saw, any help you can give would be most appreciated.

Have you watched a video number 71. In the description in that video it tells where I got my riser block I believe the name of the company is C&S The man’s name is Bill and his phone number is 1-610-662-5311 he buys I believe their grizzly riser blocks and he alters them to fit the deltas saw call him and talk to him they’re not cheap I don’t remember what I paid for mine but I think it says in the description below the video, if you need any further assistance please let me know thanks Jim
@@jimjackson9381 have a Delta 28-278 bandsaw. I viewed your video on how to install a riser. I have not been able to locate one on the internet or from the several companies I called. Can you help me locate the riser kit?
Thank you in advance.
