Jason:
Thanks, Yep,?first thing I did¡ fired-up, ready to re-saw some 9¡± x ?8/4?cherry. Then reality sets in.
Well,?this is my mistake. The saw?specs are at 13¡¯, the Starrett website doesn¡¯t (seem to)?have a length-specification input, and I assumed that 13¡¯ 4¡± (for the?carbide-tipped)?would work.?To compound this error, the closest bi-metal was 13¡¯ 2¡±. Both took up the full adjustment range of my?N4400. I was surprised, simply.
Per Felder from about 2 years ago,?My saw is one of the early ones to arrive in the States, and may have a ¡®¡¯European-spec¡¯d¡¯?lower wheel, perhaps upper-wheel as well.?I had an issue 2 years ago, and Felder traced the issue to a smaller lower wheel. This may impact the blade length range.
In the past 13¡¯ blades have worked; if I have an issue with the two re-sized blades, I¡¯ll find a reputable machine shop to make further adjustments.
I¡¯m someone who loves being in the shop, designing and making things in wood. I prefer to not plumb the depths of hardware for its own sake.
Thanks for your thoughts.
Everyone, Do Take Care.

Have you tried to mount the blade? There is definitely a range that will work given the upper wheel adjustment. I'd give it a shot before having it shortened.
