I'll quote an older post rather than paste a google link
"Bottom line: the Grizzly extension (riser) kit for $50 is a perfect
bolt-on accessory for the Ridgid BS1400 band saw. No mods (filing,
bending, beating, etc.) required. The kit even comes with a 3/8 inch

Just wondering something. The HD website says the motor draws 15
amps. The motor is supposed to be 3/4 hp which shouldn't draw
anywhere near that. Does it say anything different in the manual or
on the motor itself?
