Bigger is better in the bandsaw dept though if you have the room. Smaller machines eat up blades quicker. I have a small Delta and am looking to upgrade.

in the woodcraft catalog they price their custom bandsaw blades at .29c per inch..

its more than standard blades.. but not that expensive..

You may be able to install a spacer in the frame to get the extra inch you need to use a standard blade.

They make a spacer kit to increase the size of a Delta or Jet for people saw a lot of tall stuff but do not need the space between the blade and the frame.

depending on who manufactured teh saw for www you might be able to get a riser block.. but i'd have the blades made.. they end up being about 26$ each.. maybe save more in bulk
