Hi,

Found a web site with some instructions. Not specific to the powermatic, but may be helpful.
How to Extend the Cutting Height of a Band Saw | eHow.co.uk

Edit

found this video, about the powermatic riser kit
[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n6FhSTZEyXc"]‪Squaring up Riser Block on a Powermatic 14" band saw‬&rlm; - YouTube[/ame]

Regards Steve.

Well done Steve,most interesting,the kit does differ somewhat to the man in the video
I rang Gregory and a tech is coming out Thursday to install the riser kit for me just got to many variables for me
Thanks for your input i will watch them do the install and report the same

He did not turn up yesterday,finally turned up today, a young lad,never worked on one before,had to bash along did the best he could and i helped him, not a tough job just a heavy lifting job not for one person,having to place the riser block on the machine whilst trying to put the bolt in at the same time then replace the bar supporting all the bearings and such.
Only took an hour, now it is time to adjust the machine i will do that in my own time.
Again thanks for your help.

Thanks for your Steve
I have been using the 14 for a couple of weeks now,
and I rate it highly just cut some 8 inch silky
Oak no problems and that's with thinest blade
