JET JRB-14 6-Inch Riser Block Kit for 14-Inch Band Saw - Capacity Expansion Upgrade

Maximize Your Band Saw Resaw Capacity

The JET JRB-14 6-Inch Riser Block is designed to extend the height capacity of your 14-inch band saw, providing the extra clearance needed for resawing thick lumber or cutting tall workpieces. This kit is a essential upgrade for woodworkers looking to expand their shop capabilities.

Professional Installation and Compatibility Advice

To ensure a successful installation, please note that this kit is optimized for current JET 14-inch band saw models. If you are retrofitting an older unit, please be aware of the following technical considerations:

• Model Compatibility: Older band saw models may require precision alignment adjustments. We recommend verifying your saw's pin and stud configuration before installation. Minor manual modifications, such as alignment hole adjustment, may be required for a perfect fit.
• Support Rod Geometry: This kit includes a standard round upper-blade guide support rod. If your legacy machine utilizes a hex bar configuration, please plan for a custom rod fabrication to ensure optimal guide stability.
• Surface Preparation: As part of our industrial manufacturing process, the riser block may arrive with a protective oily residue. We recommend a thorough degreasing with a solvent before applying any custom paint or finish.

Expert Maintenance Tips

For optimal performance, we advise regular inspection of blade guide components. If you experience excessive heat buildup, ensure that your blade guides are correctly calibrated and that you are using high-quality, sharp blades to minimize friction. Proper tensioning and alignment are critical to preventing premature wear on guide materials.
