Jet 708717 6 Inch Riser Block for 14 Inch Bandsaw

Product Description

The JET 708717 is a 6-inch riser block designed to increase the resaw capacity of compatible 14-inch bandsaws. By adding height to the upper bandsaw frame, the riser block effectively doubles the cutting clearance above the table, allowing operators to work with taller stock. Weighing 15 pounds, the block is a substantial cast component built for rigid, vibration-resistant installation. It is typically installed by woodworking professionals, millwrights, or experienced shop technicians performing a machine upgrade rather than routine maintenance.

This riser block is intended for use on 14-inch bandsaw models and is suited to both professional shop environments and serious trade or production settings where increased resaw height is required. The addition of a riser block is a common machine upgrade for shops that regularly process thick lumber, timbers, or wide stock that exceeds the standard frame clearance of a 14-inch bandsaw.

Key Features

• Adds 6 inches of additional frame height to increase resaw capacity
• Compatible with 14-inch bandsaw configurations
• Solid cast construction at 15 pounds for rigid, stable installation
• Sold individually as a single unit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style riser block upgrade for 14-inch bandsaw models. Refer to the machine manufacturer documentation to confirm fitment before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with stationary woodworking machinery. Disconnect and lock out the bandsaw from its power source before disassembling the upper frame. Follow the machine manufacturer's installation instructions for proper blade tension and tracking adjustment after the riser block is fitted, as blade length requirements will change with the added height.
