Default Riving Knife advice needed.

Good morning all.
I am new to this site so first of all let me say hello to all of you fine folks.

I have a Powermatic 64A TS that I have added a folding outfeed table to.
In doing so I had to remove the blade guard.
I didn't like it anyway but I have been the victim of kick back in the past and I would like to reduce the chances of that happening again.

I have aligned the saw and have the fence adjusted so that I have +.010 at the tail of the fence. (no pinch)

I have been looking for a drop in splitter with no luck.
Does anyone have any ideas on where I can get a riving knife or a splitter or even any advice on constructiong one?

many thanks,

Bill

Bill - The BORK (Bolt On Ripping Knife) might fit your saw. Once setup properly, it works as advertised...it sits in close proximity to the blade, rises, falls, and tilts with the blade.
