CUSTOMER REVIEWS:

Customer Rating:
Summary: an easy upgrade
Comment: Installing this upgrade was a snap. The instruction sheet was barely useful, but the installation is simple. Alignment is unaffected by the riser and the increased resaw capacity is great.
The blade supplied didn't hold up, but with a good blade my Jet 14" cuts beautifully with the riser in place.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Jet JRB-14 6 inch riser
Comment: Bought the riser along with the Jet 14" band saw. Needed help installing the riser as the upper portion of saw is heavy. Had no problem connecting the riser. All fit just fine.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Not compatible with Ridgid bandsaw
Comment: Contrary to previous reviews, this riser block is not fully compatible with the Ridgid 14" bandsaw. It ends up placing the upper wheel about 1/4 inch out of alignment with the lower wheel despite the block's alignment pins, blade guards, etc matching up very well for assembly. The resulting setup will just work, but I sure wouldn't recommend it. The blade ends up riding on the very outer edge of the lower wheel while centered on the top wheel. You can't get the blade to really cut a straight kerf due to the slight twist this imparts, and the twist also messes up good guide block clearance. I'm going to return the item if I can. Why 4-stars -- because quality and fit of the product for a Jet user seems that it would be very good. FYI, I'm a very experienced woodworker, have a well equiped shop, and am quite used to working on such equipment.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Super riser
Comment: This riser fits great and works just fine. The price was much lower than any I could find elsewhere. I makes resawing a breeze. I build guitars and this made my Jet band saw much more versitile.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Works for Rigid too!
Comment: Bought this believing it would fit the Rigid 1400 bandsaw and it did. Once seated, you can see it is not an "exact" match as the riser is slightly different dimensions, but it does fit. I painted the Jet Yellow riser block with some Hammered Grey spray paint to match the Rigid and assembled. The fit was tight, but a few taps with block of wood (never metal on metal) and it seated. The guide assembly works fine but the material is a little flimsy on the blade guard. I don't believe safety is compromised. For the money, this deal is hard to beat.
