Re: Aftermarket saw blade guard for Hammer Winner
|
Thanks for the suggestion. ?Instead of a knob for the riving knife block, I purchased a 12mm clamping lever or Kip handle from Amazon and I am happy with that upgrade which I borrowed from a Ramon Valdez video. ?In terms of the block and the riving knife, I am not that pleased with that setup. ?The blade is not parallel to the riving knife which I improved with brass shims and transfer tape. ?It’s is better but still not nearly as good as it should be. ?Someone on this website posted a file that allows you to print a replacement block with the option to add set screws, ?I have not followed up with that (since I don’t have a 3D printer and not sure where to find one.
?In terms of the blade guard ( and I guess I would need a new riving knife). That will happen later if I pull the trigger.

i never realized that when you purchase these “fancy and pricey”. Machines that you still need to fuss with them a bunch to fix shortcomings. ?When I had a Unisaw it was much more straightforward.
