I just got the riser kit for my 14″ Delta X5 bandsaw. The additional blade guard support doesn’t seem to fit my saw very well and makes it difficult to open or close the door. Does anyone know of an aftermarket bandsaw blade guard that will replace the factory guard and protect over the 12″ travel range? Thanks

The guard has 2 bolts holding it in place and a wing nut that is loosened for raising/lowering, right? Sounds like these need adjustment, as well as a bit of tweaking if the guard isn't parallel to the blade. If you find that the guide block is in a different position relative to the blade when you change from the upper to the mid and lower heights, you need to do some fine tuning.
