Hi guys and girls,
Remember how long it took before in North America the riving knife was accepted by users. (Not by the government) The riving knife is the most useful safety equipment ever invented on a table saw. The only reason why it took 30 years before implemented are we.

A new report shows that an average of 31,400 people are treated in U.S. emergency rooms every year for tablesaw injuries. This figure doesn't include accidents on the job.

We all said NO against the Riving Knife for so many years.
So I wish you all good luck and we talk again over 20 years about the flesh sensing stuff.

All,
Buy quality en spend your money in North America and yes I know it's a lot more expensive but I know also you get so much more. A Cutter head like this can't do the job as good as a head with 3 times more knifes. Please do your math and you will find out that with the same feed rate and cutting depth as a spiral 3 row cutter head, this Taiwanese Knife must cut with a huge headache.

All,
It's a great technique and it's one of the first thing I teached myself years ago including the about the same technique as edging a raised panel on the same table saw. Thanks for sharing.
And by the way, who is talking about safety on a table saw? What country again was the last one in the whole world that came with a riving knife on a table saw?

Very interesting, thanks Greg.

By the way, ... funny to read the Babelonic conversation between some guys.
Work safe and have a great one,
Ed

Hi Tim,

You made me think, .. I will post my result.

Yep, agree, this jig is so basic good, you can't go better than this, ... super thanks
Ed

Like a riving knife in a table-saw it will take a while before a sliding-tablaw will be standard in North America. This cross sled from Matt is exact doing what it suppose to do, thanks for sharing Matt

Wow, super heavy comments on this fine quality tool and way of doing your thing, I'm impressed. Are you all so proud of you home depot Chevy Chinese quality? My goodness and if it would fit into my doing thing as woodworker I would defiantly give it a try.
The real creative woodworker looks over his fence and is never to old or to stubborn to learn new things.

Wow, great job, nice materials used, you have inspired me, thanks.

These redicules lawsuits are only possible in the USA and I hope this "money hunt" stays there for ever.

Thank you so much for sharing your design work with us. The door is great, not over design just great, it's a master piece.
