What are some good aftermarket splitters for a Powermatic 66?

Thanks in advance,

I have just a bare blade on mine, and I really need to do something about that.

I've been looking at this splitter, by LeeWay: http://www.leestyron.com/sharksplitter.php

I have the one Eric is looking at on my PM66 and could not be happier. It's very easy and fast to remove when I need too. I also opted for the dust collection offered and am happy as well with it. The only drawback is that Lee takes a little while to manufacture your order specifically but in my opinion it is worth the wait. You can contact him and check his back orders. He is very good about communicating with you.

Beisemeyer used to make a snap-in splitter for the 66. You might be able to find one online someplace.

Mikes Wood and Metal Tools in Santa Ana, CA shows two models on their website.
Hope that helps.

I bought the shark splitter set from Lee Styron. I did not get the dust collection since I have the Excalibur overarm system on my PM66.

It was simple to install, and is very easy to take on and off. I would buy it again.

The Shark Guard from Lee Styrone. Overhead protection which just a snap in splitter won't provide (nothing to counter a launch striaght up the spliiter) along with an excellent over-head diust collection method.

Sarge..

I have a shark quard from Lee and I just love it. it's so easy to use, I actually put it in every single time, no matter how little of a cut I want to do.

Lee is a great guy
