Default Table Saw Help

I don't like where it attaches. It's so far back from the blade that
any misalignment is magnified when you use it. I wasn't too fond of
the thumbscrew design, as it didn't seem to lock the guard back in
place at exactly the same place so I'd have to adjust and check and
adjust and check and....


I assume it's actually the splitter you're concerned about?
That's can be a valid issue - when I started woodworking I'd
take the guard and splitter off maybe once per year. Now,
even tho the guard is only on the saw maybe 20% of the time,
I'm frequently putting it on and taking it off (I use sleds
for crosscutting, dadoing, etc, which have their own guards
built on, so the factory guard/splitter is only on the saw
when I'm ripping).
