In downsizing my shop, I had to leave my cabinet saw behind. I just purchased one of the PORTER-CABLE Table Saw PCB270TS used. Once i got it home i realized the riving knife was missing. Would anyone be willing to trace theirs and send it to me so I can make one? Also I would need the thickness if possible. Edit: I lucked out and the previous owner found the riving knife. Now on to the dust collection issue
I'm also thinking of some kind of overhead blade guard dust collecting. Anyone have any thoughts on that? My "new" shop is attached to the house so I'm trying much harder to control dust. So far it seems dust is winning. I should note, the table saw will be mobile
i had an overhead dust shroud hooked up to my big DC but i didn't care for it myself, seemed like it was always in the way. i no longer have that saw and never even considered getting one again. just my opinion though for the way i work.
working with my hands is a joy,it gives me a sense of fulfillment,somthing so many seek and so few find.-SAM MALOOF.
I would say that the thickness of the knife should be based upon how thick a blade that you normally use. The manual says that the knife should be 1/64 thinner than the kerf but thicker than the blade body.
