 good product, good price. November 7, 2008
As with several of the reviews here, I have this kit installed on a RIDGID bandsaw. RIDGID offers a riser kit but it costs 3 times as much!
It bolted up without any issues; the alignment pins matched right up and the blade guide assembly fits the new shaft without problems. The blade that comes with the kit is nothing to get excited about though--it's just your average cheap spring steel blade and it's thin and flimsy. I have a stout 3/4" blade on there for resaw work now.
Before installing, I hit the block with some steel wool and a shot of silver spray paint to match my saw's frame. Obviously this was a purely cosmetic task. I just thought the green block looked funny on a silver saw!
Works well, went in pretty easy November 1, 2008
I picked this up at Grizzly when I bought the saw. It went together well. All the parts were there. The saw is well aligned and works great. I had a friend present to help with the heavy lifting. It is best not to install this without help.
One of the reasons I went with Grizzly is because parts are cheaper, and this one is no exception. Delta and Jet riser blocks are twice the price. And this one comes with a 105" blade.
A little modification October 6, 2008
First off I'm using the riser kit on an old "Summit" 14 bandsaw, it's a Taiwanese knock-off. The saw has 2 locater pin's joining the upper and lower wheel assemblies. The "holes" on the riser did not align with locator pins on the saw. The pins on the top of the riser fit perfectly in the upper arm of the saw. I had to drill out one hole 1/16 of an inch larger in dia. to get it to fit and line up.
The diameter of the shaft for the upper blade guide was to large. So, I replaced it with a length of 3/4" dia. cold rolled steel from a local hardware store.
I had no complaint regarding shipping time.
5 stars because it worked out as well as it did for a brand it wasn't meant for.
It works fine. August 25, 2008
I installed this kit on a grizzly 14" and it works fine. Only surprise was that a very large and expensive metric wrench is required. I got around this with a large 1-1/16" socket on the nut and a lockwrench on the bolt head.
Fits Jet Too !! July 11, 2008

I looked at the casting on my Grizzly G0555 bandsaw and was suprised it was identical to the older Jet 14" saw. Don't get me wrong, I am very pleased with my Grizzly, and will use it for most of my work. The Jet is set up for dedicated resaw work. This extension is well worth the money. As you can see by the pictures, it is compatible with other saws.
