Thanks for the reply. I have spare new unused Grizzly 14" riser kit. I hope to
sell the bandsaw in a few short months before I moves, keeping the riser kit
for an old Delta bandsaw which I hope to buy at the new place. I will have to
sell the riser kit and a new 14" wheel (my Grizzly already have a raiser
installed).
Thanks again

I was given a Rigid riser kit which I installed on my older Jet bandsaw. I
had to remove the pins entirely, as I recall. Doing so allowed me to
fine-tune the frame alignment. I haven't put anything in to prevent
movement, but I haven't had any problems yet. The kit came with a grooved,
round bar guide post. I ordered an 18" length of plain steel hex bar to
replace it. Heated it up and put lots of wax into it and haven't had any
rust problems, though it does develop a slight patina. All in all, it's been
great... except for the 3 unused Timberwolf blades I had purchased _just
before_ getting the riser kit. (Whatcha gon' do?)

No, but I did on an other brand... took some machining and I wouldn't
recommend it.
