************ Riving Knive? Anyone using one?

[richard poitras]

I have a Jet JTAS-10 3 hp cabinet saw from 1995 that works great (bought it new) but I would like to get a saw with a riving knive. So I have been looking at new saws with the RK and said to myself that’s a lot of money to upgrade just for a RK when my saw I have works fine. So I was thinking why don’t I look into aftermarket RK or splitters? I came across the ************ by WALNUT ACRE WOODWORKING and it looked like it may fit the bill. Does anyone have one and what are your thoughts on it? Or can you suggest one that you are happy with that would work for my saw?

Thanks Richard

Richard - There's been one in my Shop Fox 1677 since August 2008....it's a little cumbersome to setup, but not too bad, and it works well.

Rich,

Friday is a slow day around the Creek...give 'er some time. :)

Also, please do a search on it...it has been discussed in the past a few times.

I'm pretty sure there aren't a ton of them out there, but I'm even more sure that others have used it. There might be an issue with the actual term...for some reason "************" doesn't work on this site if you just spell out the acronym without the punctuation, which could hinder others who've tried to post.

Mr. Outten said that SMC had problems with that manufacturer excessively advertising, so there is a wordfilter for the term :)
