A couple of months ago a post was started asking about cheaper alternatives
to the Beisemeyer splitter. I was fortunate enough to have seen the post
suggesting the Micro Jig Splitter. This is a splitter made by the same
people that make the adjustable Micro Jig push block. I visited the site
and was happy to see the splitter being offered for $14.99. I ordered the
splitter and have been using it for 6 or so weeks. The splitter works as
advertised as I have had NO burn marks on any Poplar that I have been
ripping. Basically you get 2 splitters and an installation jig. Once your
holes are drilled in your zero clearance insert, installation and removal of
the splitter takes about 2 seconds. While $14.99 seems expensive for what
you get in the package, but it is CHEAP when compared to he $100.00 + Beis
Splitter.
