The Delta Unisaw Shark Guard
This version of the Shark Guard was designed to fit the Delta Unisaw line of saws. It is apparent that it will also fit some of the Delta Contractor and Hybrid saws as well some of the older Rockwell Delta models.
Here is a link to my patterns for the Delta splitters
and for the Rockwell Delta splitters.
You can order the splitters only without a guard here.

The splitters are
the same
for the left and the right tilting models. All splitters and anti-kickback pawls are powder coated semi-gloss black.
The clamp and screws are available in a variety of colors. Here is a link with more information about the
anti-kickback pawls.
The upgrade to 8.0 and newer eliminated the aluminum tail section. To be able to use a Shark Guard on one of these saws, you must have the OEM front splitter mounting bracket. There are a few different types, but all will fit the shark to date. This is the bracket that is mounted under the throat plate on the rear of the trunnion behind the blade with two screws. I have included an image below of this DELTA bracket. If you don't have one on your saw, they can be ordered through Delta or Service Net.
If you have one of these older Rockwell models, 34-400, 34-402,
34-410, 34-426, 34-429, 34-430
then you may have yet a different bracket. They are shown in the manual illustration below and in some of the photo's marked as Rockwell. If your bracket looks like this older two piece one, then just let me know you have the Rockwell bracket.

How to determine your splitter/riving knife thickness. These are my typical recommendations on which thicknesses to choose when ordering.
The thicknesses I offer are actually just standard steel gauges. 13, 12 and 11. The smaller the number, the thicker the stock. Here is a link to standard steel sheet gauges. Steel Gages. Most factory supplied guards use 14 gauge and even less in some cases. Very few use thicker, but there are some. These are the thicknesses I start out with. Then when I powder coat them, it adds 3 or 4 mils of coating to each side. It has been my experience that getting a splitter very close to the blade thickness is bad. It can often result in sticking and pinching on nearly every cut. This is also not safe. It will cause you to want to apply more pressure to feed and that is undesirable. You may have seen guys cut lumber the exact thickness of the kerf and use this as a splitter mounted into the throat plate. I think the reason that works is because the splitters are so small, they don't have enough area to cause much friction. The larger area of bigger splitters will cause issues if they are too thick. I only sell just a few of the thickest versions. They would be ideal on a saw in a cabinet shop that was dedicated for sheet goods. They also work on saws that have an easily adjusted splitter mounting bracket. Some are easy and some can be a bear. I sell the thin kerf the most. .090 inch thickness. I recommend these for guys that use both type blades. Thin kerf and standard kerf. It actually works well for both because of the area of the splitter surface. Guys that don't own any thin kerf blades usually order the .105". These are just a little thicker and may even support the guard just a bit better because of it. I would say that a good splitter should be just a bit less than the thickness of your kerf. Safety should be easy and trying to use a splitter that is too thick is a step in the wrong direction. | |
