Re: Aftermarket saw blade guard for Hammer Winner
开云体育Mike, You intend to go from the Euro guard to the overhead guard. This has been discussed here so you should be able to find info by searching. I made the switch because I did not like removing the guard and lowering the riving knife for grooves. With overhead guard a different riving knife can be used which eliminates this issue. Dust collection is better, I won’t quantify it as I also changed my DC system at the same time so it is not a good comparison. As long as the OH saw guard arm swings out of the way (mine does not) you won’t have any additional restrictions in height of material you can process. In my case, this is really more of an assembly issue. I use the slider for large assemblies as it is more convenient than my assembly table. First time I used the OHSG I felt its bulkiness but got used to it quickly. Not in shop but this is the best pic I can share of my OHSG. Horizontal arm is fixed but it has telescoping tubes. I can push the gray tube into blue tube which moves guard about 2’ away from the blade. ?

Today I just hooked my blade guard dust port to my DC and removed the shop vac that had been collecting dust for the overhead portion for the dust collection. ?This is a temporary situation and I am considering dropping $500 to $1K for a grizzly or Harvey shark. ?So my question is what should I expect to be the biggest benefit? ?Better dust collection, better visibility and safety, more convenience, or all of the above? ?Currently I have only one bolt for the angle iron, so if I have a wider piece I will be able to loosen the bolt and rotate it away pretty quickly. ?Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated about the relative benefits and improvements that I should expect. ?Thanks, ?Mike
