Hi Kevin I use carver and woodturner bands from R&D BANDSAWS, Swedish silicon steel bands. They have extra wide set on those bands for sawing wet wood, and I am very satisfied with them, also the people are very helpful and prices are right.

93-1/2".
I put the riser block on my14" so long ago that I read his post and didn't think twice about what I bought before I started using 105" blades..
Unless, of course, he has a low rider model and the wheels are very close together.. *g*
