Grizzly G0555,G0555X Owners, I Need a Measurement

[Lance Norris]

I have a Ridgid 14" bandsaw and want to add a riser. The Ridgid riser kit is $160. The Grizzly is $60, but there are 2 different kits. The only post I could find here at the Creek said the Grizzly kit would work, but the guide post wasnt the right size, and then recommended the kit for the G0555 or G0555x. The measurement I need is the diameter of the upper guide post. If its .875 or 7/8", Im good to go. Can someone please measure the diameter and let me know? Thanks.

Mine measures 13/16"

My G0555 is 7/8", unless you measure at the V cut out on the back, then it's 13/16". Clear as mud? The guide post has a V cut into the rear of it, so you lose a small part of the radius where the V is, otherwise the post is 7/8".

Son-of-a-gun! Mine is also 7/8". Sound like you're good to go. Happy sawdust!:D

[Dick Rowe]

I was wrong .. as stated the post is 7/8".

I just grabbed a caliper and must have not been paying attention and put it across the v-groove which is where I got the 13/16".

Sorry!
