splitter for old Craftsman tabel saw

Nov 13, 2006 1 Replies

Woodcraft and other suppliers used to carry aftermarket splitters for old Craftsman contractors saws (circa 1982). I can't seem to find them any more.



Anybody know of a source?



Thanks in advance

I made my own by cutting a 1/8 thick piece of oak to friction fit into a slot I cut in my zero clearance plate. The clot is in line with and about 1/2" behind my saw blade when it is at its maximum height. The splitter sticks up about 2" and is about 1.5" front to back. Except for the thickness, there don't seem to be any critical dimensions. In fact, I gor my slot just a smidgen out of line with the blade and compensated by sanding a bevel on the leading edge of the splitter (which I would recommend you do anyways).
