I just put together a Unisaw this week and part of the effort involved
the installation of the guard and splitter.

It now amazes me even more that a riving knife has not been designed
for this saw. The hardware for the splitter and guard appears to be
much more involved and has more pieces than a riving knife and guard
(that could be mounted to the top of the riving knife) would have.

Has anyone ever talked to the Delta management to see what it is that
prevents the use of a riving knife on the newer designs?

There have been numerous design modifications to this saw in other
areas to both improve the design and lower the cost. I am going to
remove the blade guard after I tune the thing up and install my zero
clearance insert with an integral splitter which I find safer and more
convenient to use. A riving knife would be a nice addition. I have
not examined the trunion area sufficiently to see if it could be
modified in its design to use a riving knife.

Has anyone ever found an aftermarket riving knife (I DON'T mean the
numerous splitters of various designs by aftermarket people and
Delta).
