I just purchased the riser kit for my 14-inch Delta 28-203 band saw - the model number for the kit is: 28-984. It came without instructions and I could sure use some. Can anyone help me out?
Thanks!!!

That riser block kit is virtually identical to the Jet/Powermatic kit. These instructions should work.

Be sure and scrape all the paint off the mating surfaces where riser meets saw castings.
PDF sent. Have fun! +1 on what Bruce said.

I have the instructions and it seemed to be very simple job until I removed the bolt holding the top casting to the bottom casting. Man those alignment pins are doing their job! Any recommends on separating the two???

Thanks everyone, I got it off. I took an old 1" stiff paint scraper and got some separation between the castings then pounded wooden door shims between, on opposite sides. Worked like a charm.
When you get the riser install make sure you really, really torque the bolt that holds everything together very well. You want to put a lot more torque on it than is required to just hold the saw together. That bolt also is what resists the tension load from the spring and if you don't torque it well enough the frame will deflect quite a lot under high spring force. You want to put about as much torque as you are capable of (or at least as I'm capable of at 60 years old and 175 lbs) on it.

Instructions? We don't need no stinkin instructions.
Take a bolt out.
disconnect top from bottom.
Install the block and top.
Put the long bolt in.
Not really hard, is it?
