Has anyone ever made their own 6" riser block to expand their 14" bandsaws? Couldn't a 6" block of wood, drilled in the middle to accept a lag bolt, suffice instead of store bought aftermarket systems? I ask this because I just got back from a lunch trip looking for a riser kit, but the guy at the "orange" place didn't even know what one was and didn't seem all that inclined to look it up. Accross the street, the guy at the "blue" place looked at me with a puzzled look (clearly not knowing what a riser block was) and in an attempt to make it look like he did know blew me off with a "we don't have that item here" and bolted as quickly as he could.
