gives me the ability to resaw logs up to 12inches.it was as advertised and an easy install for me by myself, (i put it together while it was on its back because i had no help at the time) worked for me.my riser kit didn't even need a shim in it, fit like a glove.(i did put a high gloss black finish on it before i installed it, as my saw is the anniversary edition which is blk and it matched perfectly)
