My B.O.R.K.

Whoa Aaron...the Push/Pull splitter tilts with the blade. It mounts in place of the stock splitter bracket.

Oh .....it just doesn't rise up and down with the blade...correct?

Bob,
Will it work on a PM66?

 

[Bob Ross]

Hi Charlie,

I'm afraid not. The PM66 has too little room between the blade and the rear trunion. Have you looked into the Shark Guard? Lee Styron has been at this a lot longer than I have. leestyron.com

 

[Jerry Palmer]

A riving knife, as well as the BORK, also sit closer to the back of the blade at any blade height, where-as the splitter is quite a way behind the blade at lower blade heights. It is beneficial to have the splitting action close on to the blade.

Following this thread with interest,
Bob, got anything that will work on a Ridgid 3612, which of course is the old Emerson/Craftsman style with the guard/splitter which attaches out back of the table and is oh so stable in use?

 

[Bob Ross]

Ned,

Sorry, the closest I can come is a zero clearance insert-mounted Push/Pull Splitter, which I came up with for contractor saws.

I have no feedback on this model. We tried it once on a PM66 and it would not fit .I used it myself and it worked fine for straight rips. Of course, it will not tilt with the blade. I also think it's important for the ZCI to be secured; I use rare earth magnets.

Thanks Bob! Something to consider, appreciate the prompt check in!

Hey Bob, good to see you drop in, and glad to see business is still keeping you busy.

Bob's got a new blade guard out that fits the BORK. I added one late last summer....nice!
