Anyone remember a little clip that was sold as a splitter
that went into the curf of a long board being ripped?
It looked like an upside down T with a wing nut or star wheel
on it, It was placed in the curf after the board passed through
the blade and keeping the curf from closing and also supported
both sides of the offcut.

I have two of them I bought a number of years ago. Seldom used, but very
handy little tools when they're needed.
