I was looking at parts diagram for a 2002 Unisaw that I located that
didn't have a blade guard or splitter. I was surprised. From the parts
diagram it looks like a real pain to remove the splitter (2 screws,
sideways?). Not only that it would cost $150 to obtain this part.
Maybe I've already deduced why it's "not present"?

Thee may be value in a riving knife instead? FWIW, this saw has a
Unifence that didn't move as smoothly as other fences I've seen, it
needed to be "palm tapped"--but that detail doesn't seem so critical.
Maybe it just needs wax? It locked solid however (though it is Aluminum
and may flex a little--you can see I've been reading! )

Looks like it may either be this saw or a new Grizzly G0691. Does
Grizzly have a "great feeling" fence or just so-so? After all is said
and done, the cost of delivery of both saws is about the same(which
improves the price of the Grizzly, relatively speaking).

Model number? Lots of different Unisaws in the early nineties.


The model number on the cabinet is 36-829, which I've since learned is
the model number of the *cabinet*. %-)
The serial number begins 02B, which places it in February, 2002 I think.
It's not a "Platinum edition", it's plain, but it has a little sticker
"USA stripes" on the lower right.
Electric is on left side, motor cover on right side (underneath, not on
the outside), saw is RT.
It's 83" long with Unifence. Based on the date (2002), I think it's
Model 36-841.
