Indeed - much safer than a splitter. Void your warranty? Not at all
necessarily. Most older saws don't even have a warrnaty in place, but even
for newer saws that my have one, installing a riving knife need not
necessarily void the warranty.

Sorry. Warranty in quotes was intended to indicate my tongue was
firmly stuck to one of my cheeks. Not saying which one.
