Might be a gismo to increase the resaw depth on a band saw. Of course all present bandsaw blades will be put in the garage sale. Who dun it? don't know. Why buy one, should just obtain the "big" bandsaw to begin with... Wish I'd obtained a big bandsaw before investing in expensive (but good) blades, kool blocks, fence, etc. etc.

Snowshoe, You know you need new blades, but don't forget safety, you also need a new blade guard.

Snowshoe, You know you need new blades, but don't forget safety, you also need a new blade guard.

50 points for making mention of the requirement to buy new 'longer' blades.

(The kit comes with the blade guard and other parts for the conversion).
