(More customer reviews)After reading many articles on table saw kick back, I decided I did not want to be the next victim so I bought the Biesemeyer 78-431 T-Square Anti-Kickback Snap-In Spreader (For Delta Left Tilt Unisaw). I removed the original blade guard and kickback device after one day of use. The blind spots were distracting and aggravating. When it came time to install my dado blade, there was the factory splitter. Aggravating to remove and more aggravating to install and align. Without completing the re-installation, I worked for a few weeks without both.MUCH nicer and no aggravations!
My conscience told me over and over to install a splitter so I bought the 78-431.
Over priced? Yes. Worth it? Yes! What is the cost of a finger or hand? Much more in many ways than the cost of this splitter/ kickback device.DO NOT order the wrong unit.Right tilt and left tilt saws require their own order number.
Installation was non-complex, bigger hands than mine might have some grief but that goes without saying when working in tight spaces.All of the original blade guard hardware must be removed. If you already installed and auxiliary out feed table, you may have to loosen a bolt or two and readjust it when you're done. No big deal.
Keep in mind that the splitter/kickback device is removable and replaceable in seconds; also keep in mind that this splitter is for 1/8" blades only. Thin kerf blades will not work with this unit. A three horsepower and higher saw does not require a thin kerf blade. They are meant for lower horsepower contractor and bench saws since the thin kerf allows for easier cutting pressures.
Some of the earlier Biesemeyer overhead blade guards came with a removable splitter that sold separately for about $30.00.The 78-431 is about $130.00 and more meaty than the thirty dollar freebee.
I use this splitter/kickback device faithfully and never had a problem.Here's to all my fingers!!Thank you Biesemeyer!

Product Description:
The Biesemeyer T-square anti-kickback snap-in spreader increases table saw safety by reducing dangerous kickbacks. This spreader snaps in instantly and removes easily on left-tilt unisaws from several manufacturers. Each spreader has a unique mounting bracket designed to mount to the saw using the existing mounting holes for the saw's factory guard/spreader unit. Once the mounting bracket is installed, the spreader will be aligned with the saw blade every time it is removed and reinserted. Remove the splitter blade quickly by taking out the table insert, pulling on the spring loaded pin and pulling the blade out. Insert the spreader into the mounting bracket until the spring-loaded pin engages the hole in the splitter blade to reinstall.
The Biesemeyer T-square anti-kickback splitter is designed to be used in conjunction with a basket-style blade guard. The splitters are not intended to be used with a thin kerf blade. Minimum saw blade thickness is 1/8 inch.
