1. Kickback Prevention:

   • The primary function of this splitter is to prevent kickback, a common and dangerous occurrence where the saw blade ejects the workpiece toward the operator at high speed. By incorporating a splitter, the risk is significantly reduced, promoting safer operation.

2. Compatibility with 1/8-inch Kerf Saw Blades:

   • This splitter is specifically designed for use with 1/8-inch kerf saw blades, making it compatible with a standard blade size used in many woodworking projects.

3. Installation on Zero Clearance Inserts:

   • The splitter can be installed directly onto wood or plastic zero clearance inserts (also known as throat plates). Zero clearance inserts are used to minimize the space around the blade, which not only helps in reducing tear-out but also supports the installation of safety accessories like this splitter.

4. Mini-Feather Board Technology:

   • This feature helps to maintain consistent pressure between the workpiece and the fence, ensuring smoother cuts and preventing the workpiece from veering away from the fence. It also helps in reducing burn marks on the wood by maintaining optimal feed rate and pressure against the fence.

5. Automatic Kerf Keeper:

   • The kerf keeper is an additional safety feature that activates to prevent the saw blade from binding with reactive wood, which can twist or close up after being cut. This further helps in preventing kickback and ensures smoother operation during cuts.

Installation and Ease of Use:

• Simple Installation Process:

  • The splitter comes with simple instructions and an installation drill guide, making it easier to set up even for those who are not very experienced with modifying their tools. This straightforward process means less downtime and quicker readiness for safe operation.

• Designed for DIY Enthusiasts and Professionals:

  • The ease of installation and the safety features it provides make this splitter an excellent choice for both DIY enthusiasts and professional woodworkers who prioritize safety without compromising on efficiency.

Additional Considerations:

• Enhanced Safety:
  • Using this splitter can significantly enhance the overall safety of using a table saw by mitigating some of the most common hazards associated with table saw use.
• Maintenance:
  • Regular checks to ensure the splitter is securely attached and not worn out are essential for maintaining its effectiveness and safety features.
