East central Iowa

Probably should have posted here rather than machinery talk.

I have a Delta 28-206 14" bandsaw and it only will resaw about 6" pieces of wood.  I really don't want to spend a couple thousand for another bandsaw that will saw 12 to 13 inches of wood.  I've seen article that use a 6" riser to increase the distance so you can resaw up to 13" and then use a 105" blade. 

I know that part of the problem with resawing is the strength of the back so that tensioning the blade becomes more stressful as the blade gets wider.  A 1/8" blade requires less tension than a 3/4" blade, but the 3/4" blade is what is used for resawing.

Do any of you have experience with installing and using one of these riser kits, is there a shop made one that would work just as well?  They appear to be nothing more that 1/2" plate welded top and bottom to a 6" square tube and placed between the top wheel and bottom wheel.
