Jet 708717A 6 Inch Riser Block for 708113A Bandsaw

Product Description

The JET 708717A is a 6-inch riser block designed to increase the resaw capacity of the JET 708113A bandsaw. This cast riser block mounts between the upper and lower bandsaw frame sections, adding 6 inches of additional throat height and allowing operators to cut taller stock than the base machine configuration permits. It is a purpose-built accessory for woodworking and metalworking shops where increased cutting capacity is required without replacing the base machine. Installation is handled by millwrights, shop technicians, or experienced woodworkers familiar with bandsaw service and adjustment procedures. At 15 pounds, the block is substantial enough to maintain frame rigidity during operation.

This riser block is used in production and professional shop environments where the JET 708113A bandsaw is the primary cutting tool. Adding the riser block increases the maximum resaw height, making it practical for processing thicker lumber, large timbers, or oversized workpieces. It is sold as a single unit and is intended as a direct accessory upgrade for shops that have already outgrown the stock cutting capacity of their existing bandsaw setup.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician or experienced shop professional familiar with bandsaw disassembly and reassembly. Power down and disconnect the bandsaw from its electrical supply before beginning any work on the frame. After installing the riser block, the blade, blade guides, blade tension, and blade tracking must all be readjusted to account for the increased frame height.
