Sadly, this product is limited to smaller projects due to its maximum rip capacity of 30-inches to the right of the blade. The torsion box design should eliminate deflection during use, and adjustable wear pads should increase durability as well as performance. The lever is very convenient as it can be easily manipulated with just one hand. It also includes a self-sticking measuring tape that provides high contrast as well as metric and SAE measurements.Ī heavy-duty cam lever provides a solid lock when placed into the desired position. The aluminum components on the fence also lower its overall weight.Ī magnified cursor is included and it will allow you to read measurements easily. This model from Shop Fox measures 57-inches for the length of the rail, something that will provide plenty of registering surface as you push the wood through the cut. The riving knife pressed the strips tight to the fence behind the blade, so I got very smooth cuts, without any of the chatter marks you usually get with thin strips.Check Today's Price Features and benefits as advertised by the seller OVERVIEW Then, starting with a scrap between the knife and the fence to hold the knife vertical, I made my cuts, pushing the first stick through with a second, and so on. That oversize - very tall - riving knife you end up with also makes a handy hold-in for very narrow strips: I loosely hooked a bungie to one of the now-unused pivot holes for the guard, so that the knife was pulled slightly towards the fence. I haven't gotten around to taking apart my 90s-era Unisaw guard, but at least I didn't throw it away. I think it was Tage Frid who did the same thing with his Unisaw guard, also adding a wood guard atop it that was sized and shaped much like a throat-plate insert. I did that with my old, early-70s 9" Contractor's Saw - a great, cast-iron tool.
You can the the standard guard apart, throwing away the plastic guard and anti-kickback parts, saving only the riving portion.
