Hi gang,
I feel it's about time I sorted out this aspect of safety on my machine and need a bit of help. My saw bench is an older Wadkin dimension saw that is very similar to the AGS 10 from the early 1960's in that it has the mounting for a splitter rather than a riving knife. I got the crown guard with my machine but no splitter as such. The first thing I'm hoping is that some helpful soul on these boards with a suitably aged AGS will be kind enough to share a scan or drawing of said splitter so that I can fabricate one for myself. I could probably have a stab at hacking something together but would feel more comfortable using a proven pattern if at all possible. My second request is for some guidance on where I could get a 12" square sheet of 2.5mm gauge plate or stainless steel for the making of this device. It seems as though small quantities like that are hard to come by or ludicrously over priced. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
