I have a Delta 16" bandsaw Model 28-540 and would like to know the proper blade length for this saw. Can't find a parts manual to download or a spec sheet.
When purchased it had a wood blade measuring 82" so I ordered a 82"long x 1/2" wide x .025" thick x 10-14 pitch bi-metalic blade for metal cutting. A 82-1/2" blade was sent which turned out to be too long as there was no take-up left. I re-ordered and the 82" works. My question is what is the right blade for this saw, for instance, can it use an 81" blade?
Hope someone can help!
