Need Splitter/anti-kickback

[DavidRD]

Does anyone know where I can get a splitter/anti-kickback for a Jet JWCS-10A Cabinet Saw. The one that comes with the saw is complicated to get in and out. I would like one that will pop in and out without a great deal of effort.

Not sure if this will fit your saw, but it's the only one I know of.

Thanks, Gerry, it is exactly what I need and it does fit my saw.

Although this is not a splitter, I really like them for anti-kickback. They also really help when ripping to keep the board pressed against the fence. I highly recommend them. When ripping long boards by yourself, you can let go of the board and it will just stay there, alowing you to change your grip.

Board buddies. Use yellow for a saw, or orange for a router table or shaper.

As it happens, I was also looking for the board buiddies. I think I would like them better than the pawls.

Thanks,

Here is my advice. Pawls are bad news , especially if stupidly designed.

My 15 year-old Powermatic 66 came with a riving knife and "anti-kickback" pawls", riding, and fixed to either side of the knife. Unfortunately, the saw blade throat plate always managed to catch the pawls and jam into them. The "anti-kickback " pawls thus guaranteed quite the opposite as the workpiece jammed. It was a spectacularly stupid piece of design.

For panel ripping, get hold of a couple of wheels that fix to your ripping fence and pull the piece against the fence. For ripping lumber, use a riving knife (splitter) and put the pawls in the trash bin before they injure you.

IMHO

Martin, thanks for the advice. It makes sense to me. When I first got my table saw some years ago, it had pauls, which, as you say, jammed so often that I finally took the whole assemble off the saw. So my current plan is to get the wheels and a splitter (no pauls).
