I have yet to use the 3hp Unisaw I picked up 2 months ago :mad: I had to buy, build and tape 2x3 steel tubing for the front rail. It did not come with a splitter BUT has the white Beisemeyer splitter mount. It was only $700 AND came with the big yellow Excalibur overram thing AND the Beisemeyer t-square overram guard.
I NEED a splitter of some kind. Was gonna make one from a saw blade BUT am deciding if the $240 for the Sharkguard, new manually adjustable riving knife, dust thing, kickback pawls, and 2 knives in thin and standard kerf is worth it.
I can sell my Excalibur and Beisemeyer overram units. The big yellow Excalibur is nice but I'll have to build a mount for it etc and only have a ridgid shop vac so far.
The **** riving knife looks weird. Another guy on Lumberjocks makes a complete system that requires taking the top off and is a real riving knife but seems mounting is more time consuming and mechanical then I want. I plan to have this saw for a couple years then upgrade to a used Sawstop or slider.....plan at least.
