Thanks Bill, its a 10" Craftsman and I have all the original guard hardware, but I don't like it. Plus I can't use it anyway because of my outfeed table.EBay has a bunch of stuff like guards and that.

Thanks I didn't know about the template. That helps a lot. I never really had a problem until recently when I tried ripping some pine and the wood grabed the blade pushing it back toward me.the micro jig fits into two small drilled holes. It fits very snug. Mine has never fallen out. It came with a template to aid alignment. they do work well
Wow, that video said it all. Thanks.I use them and love them. Slick system that is easy to setup.

Thanks, I would love to have that because it tilts with the blade for bevel cuts, but unfortunately the ad has a disclaimer for my saw.You could also try this http://www.theborkstore.com I had it on my last saw and loved it. While you might not be able to get a riving knife for yours he also has a splitter setup with a blade guard that work good.
Thanks knotscott, I went to the site and found the kit for my saw. I have to say I was really excited until I saw the installation photos. They use the original guard support for my particular saw off of the back which I don't have access to.Shark Guard makes a splitter/guard that should work with your saw.

nice and interesting modification. a few questions though,Thanks but my saw is a little more complicated because I enclosed the motor for dust collection.

The saw dust is sucked out under the saw blade and then through a Blast Gate in front. I use a wye in front to also capture saw dust from my joiner. I little dust gets trapped in the corners of the motor compartment, but not enough for me to be concerned with although I do open it up to check the motor and usually suck it out.nice and interesting modification. a few questions though,
1. the metal enclosure bottom pan doesn't seem to have any way for the saw dust to be removed form it's bottom. how is this accomplished during saw operation?
2. does that metal motor enclosure provide sufficient room for the motor to bevel to 45°?
3. would cutting an access hole in the outfeed table for the OEM splitter really impact air flow for dust collection that much? or would it possibly provide make up air for improved dust collection?
