Yeah, another bandsaw question. I'm sure it's on here somewhere but I'm limited for time right now on searching. Can someone tell me where I can get a 6" riser block for my new Ridgid 14" bandsaw?

I dont know anything about bandsaws and just bought one for the $185 deal that was going on around the forums a few weeks ago. Haven't even put the thing together yet but wanted to get the riser block so I can install it during assembly. Thanks.

I can't speak from experience, but I've read on here that grizzly riser blocks fit on the ridgid (color doesn't match obviously), and they are the cheapest option.

You could always call Ridgid, they list it as an accessory, part # AC5005

Yeah, I just took the time and read through about 30 threads and found a model that should work from Grizzly. I knew about the Ridgid one but didn't want to pay that much. I will just order the Grizzly. Thanks guys.

I have the Ridgid BS and can tell you the Grizzly fits perfectly, a little silver CI paint and it will match perfectly.

Grizzly has 2 riser blocks. Which one fits?

H3051 6" Extension Block Kit (http://www.grizzly.com/products/6-Extension-Block-Kit/H3051). This is the one I used on my Ridgid 14" bandsaw.

Hope this helps.
