Here are a few of many Owners comments that I receive in emails.
GDay Lee :
Thanks for the prompt delivery of the Shark Guard,it was waiting for me when i arrived in LA.
As you can see by the photo i wasted no time putting it on my Jet Supersaw when i arrived back in Brisbane,Australia.
The first test cuts on Melamine Whiteboard produced no dust at all on the saw table,very impressed.

Thanks again and best wishes from Australia

I have finally got to use it a bit and I love it! I had a 4 in. hose hooked up to it and the hose was too stiff so I changed it with a 3 in. hose and it works much better. I am going to buy a 4 in. more flexible hose because as you know, the bigger the hose the more air moves. Anyway, a very nice design. Oh by the way, the Beisemeyer interface works like a champ. BECAUSE of this interface, I will more likely use the guard. Thanks.

Just a quick note to let you know I received my guard today. What craftsmanship, very impressive. I was just out starting to put it on,and I ran into that "rollpin" issue and went to your site to see about it. That too (instructions on your site) was very nicely done and easy to understand. So while I was here I thought I'd just let you know that I did receive it, and looks like exactly what I had hoped it would be, and of a very high quality. I will without doubt recommend this to anyone who asks about it.
Thanks again, Bill
Hope you're still busy, it really is an excellent piece.

Well I finally got the shark guard hooked up and have tried it. Set up went great. Little difficulty getting everything true but that is the nature of the Powermatic 64A. Just could not get at the bolts good. Did not have to use the spacers. Have set up the middle and the largest splitter for trueness and left the middle one on. Sliced a 6" length board in half and it was great. Very much like the ease of removing the guard when needed and the splitters.
Again, thanks.

Just wanted to say thanks. My sharkguard arrived Sat. and it's already installed. I will say that after a few test cuts I'm well pleased with its performance in picking up the dust and the simplicity removing/re-installing the splitter. I've always disliked blade guards of any sort and have never used one in the past but I'm all for dust collection where possible on all my tools/machines. Of all the models I considered, including building one myself yours is the best overall in it's simple design (well made I might add) consumes the least amount of space, is quick to remove/setup and is priced affordably and I would without hesitation recommend it to anyone. Keep up the good work.
Best regards,
Matt T.

This weekend I got the SharkGuard installed. Very nice piece of equipment.
I have already noticed I am using the guard more often than I would if I had to rely on the factory guard. Now when I switch from the Crosscut Sled to using the splitter and guard it is very quick and easy to do.
The other thing I am very happy with is that the short splitter works great with a Gripper. I have never really liked the little plastic splitter they recommend with the Gripper and on a couple of occasions I have had the plastic splitter pull out while ripping.
Neat product – good luck.

Hey Lee,
I just wanted to thak you for the SG you sent me. I got it setup and working great. The dust collection with my 3HP Dust Gorilla and your SG is awesome. It's picking up real close to 100% of the dust from the top of the table. I'm still not a fan of using guards on my saw (I'd never be without a splitter though), but the dust collection alone makes it worth learning to change my ways.

Lee-
Every day I go down in my shop and use the guard you sold me. I have always hated guards, but this one is a thing of beauty, and in conjunction with the new dust collector I assembled, my shop is a much happier place to be.

Hi Lee, Just wanted to drop you a note regarding the above-subject (Shark Guard for Jet contractor saw). I got the splitter bracket and the splitters aligned and the the unit performs flawlessly. It is an absolutely fantastic product - just what I was looking for. Feel free to use me as a reference, if ever needed. Kudos! Thanks again, Mike G.

I am very happy with the performance of my Sharkguard. Have never had a kick back with it. I am sending you some new photos. One of the great things about the Sharkguard is that it allowed me to attach an out feed table to the Grizzly which I could not do with the factory guard.
I built the out feed table to allow it to fold. I only have half the garage to work in so everything has to be mobile. I push everything against the wall when done. My overhead dust collection which feeds in to the Sharkguard cost me $10 to make. The board buddies is only used to keep stock down and not for kick back purposes. I love my guard and consider it one of my best purchases.

I've been using my Shark guard for a few months now, and I just wanted to say how much I like it. The design and function are far superior to the factory guard. I really have no complaints.
Just wanted to say thank you. Now I just have to bludgeon the other purchasers of the saw to buy the Shark guard.

My youngest son thinks this is the coolest thing in the shop and I am in complete agreement. The fit and finish are top notch and the guard works as advertised.

It came today and I installed it per your great instructions online...and one word..."WOW" The workmanship and quality of the material is just great. Now I have a "real ZCTP" to replace that much too thin Ryobi thing.

My Shark arrived in good order yesterday. I am very pleased. My wife said it should be framed. You really do beautiful work.

I just wanted to let you know that the Shark Guard arrived on Saturday. I had been out of town, so it was waiting for me when I got home. It looks great. Perhaps you may want to describe the color as "Harbor Freight Green" on your website. It's a little more pea-green than what I imagined. No complaints, though.
I'm still fiddling with getting it set. I have not had sufficient time to get it fine-tuned.
Thanks for a wonderful product. I'm looking forward to using it.

Guess what was waiting for me when I got
home? Nice craftsmanship Lee. I'll try to get things put together
enough to give it a try this week (other honeydo projects permitting).
Thanks again!
