I have a 14" Craftsman band saw with bearings. How can I change the bearings to something that will hold Cool Blocks?

The bearings are better as guides. I believe the upper guide mount is different for the block style..

you want to change the guide blooks only the bearing need to stay unless they are shot. The cool blocks work great on my Jet.

Amazon sells the ACCURA complete upper blade guide for 14" band saw by Accura that will replace the upper bearings if your saw has the 1/2" or 5/8" (I can't remember which it is) rod ACCURA may have the lower guides also. Check for blade guides at craftsman.com, Grizzly, Rigid, Harbor Freight, Jet and many others. They are all pretty much the same.

hi Ed, i'm pretty sure you would want to get a 5/16 grinding stone for your saw chain. i'm assuming you have something like a ms 260 class chainsaw.

it uses different sizes of stones. fix it to the chain on your saw, not hard.

Look up "mini drill chuck", pretty certain it will bring up some decent choices that will hold your bits mentioned.

You would need to drill four 1/2" holes (or there abouts) in one of the mounting surfaces - probably the bottom. Then you could screw the bearing to that mounting surface at a 90° rotational offset, lay your top piece on and put your screws into the other surface through the 1/2" holes.

Craftsman has a dado insert for your saw. I can not speak if other brands will interchange. You will like this product.

There is a nob that When tightened keeps the saw at what ever height you need it. If you were to loosen it you could probably do a drop cut.

I honestly cannot tell you where to get more tool holders, but.....I used a half sheet of OSB and drilled holes for my flooring saw because the mounting holes were off center . I purchased some nuts and screws from a True Value hardware store and mounted the OSB to the stand mounts for the saw. Then mounted flooring saw to OSB. Maybe a similar setup could work for you?

I have the same saw. Check out Home Depot. I bought what's called a Universal Edge Guide. I had to do some minor filling on the mounting slots of the shoe of the saw. Works great!

I'm pretty sure that this riser is specific to the Grizzly 14 in bandsaw. Placement of mounting hardware and general fit are specific, so if it did fit any other brand it would be coincidental, or as others have said, would require some "adjustment". Pretty chancy to buy this and then find out later it won't work. Amazon passes orders direct to Grizzly, so whether there would be returns allowed would need to be checked. Grizzly is very good about answering questions, so you might want to give them a call about whether the riser has worked with other brands.

I purchased this riser in 2006 and it fits fine. i do not know if it will fit older 14 inch saws.

I do, and most likely you can too. To be sure, loosen the arbor nut and measure to see if it will hold this 13/16" with blade set.

I assume you are talking about the width of you top. The saw is fairly heavy so I would use something to support its mass. I have mine mounted to a Ridgid AC9945 stand on wheels and it works great. and it has slideout extensions for long pieces

The attachment bars have slots in them allowing them to work for a variety saws - I have the 12 in non sliding saw and it fits with room for a larger saw base.

No I used it on my 14" Ridgid. If the grizzly has 1/2" guide blocks then these will fit. One of the single biggest improvements you can make to a band saw.

My saw is a Grizzly and is just under 14" I laid the bands in the Florida summer sun for about a half hour and they were still a tight fit. They are working fine.

Should work great, if need you can change the bearing with high quality sealed bearing.
