I finally got a table saw this weekend, I picked the Ryobi BT3100 and I'm pretty impressed with, bang for the buck. The only trouble I'm having is that the riving knife seems pretty flimsy and it wobbles a lot. Moreover, no arrangement of the shims aligns it properly with the saw blade. I've got all my shims on one side and it's still off and there's no more to move to fix it! Anybody else encountered this?
Riving Knife on Ryobi BT3100

I know this is not what you wanted, but I was curious what the riving knife is for. I have looked at pictures, but I can't tell. It was on a circular saw, though.
Pretty much the same thing as a splitter, but I think it follows the blade up and down as you raise and lower it.
