OK after a couple of years of constantly fiddling with the grizzly guard
and then not using it, I finally managed to nick my finger. Not badly,
but enough to realise it could have been so much worse.
It's time to get a decent guard.
I've been looking particularly at the penn state guard for $200but
searching the group it seems to have got a poor report. Can anyone
suggest a better option (preferably not too much more expensive).
Also, I've been looking for a splitter that will fit the grizzly. I
liked the one that fits the jet tables and is quick to pop up and down
(biesmayer ?) but couldn't find anything similar for the grizzly.
I have a Grizzly 1023 saw.
Many thanks,
J.
I installed the Delta Unigaurd on my 1023 a few years ago. Costs around
$260 and works great. I was also able to adapt the Delta splitter to
work with the saw. I cut off a small section of the Grizzly splitter and
had it welded on tho the Delta as a spacer. This allowed the splitter to
line up correctly with the blade. Easy to remove and install, simple
thumbscrew. Can provide photo if you'd like.

Delta Removable Splitter
Delta P/N 1349941 (left or right tilt) $34.70
Available at http://www.sawcenter.com/unisawparts.htm or anyplace that sells
Delta parts. It fit fine on my 1023 without any modification, except for some
shims for centering the splitter in the kerf. The splitter is held in by a
thumbscrew below the throat insert. The instructions stink a little bit,
though.
No connection to sawcenter.com, just a happy customer.

PS--Wherever you get your parts from, be sure to get the offset outside wrench
P/N 422-39-101-0001 Price: $4.55. Best $5 I ever spent.

Yes please, that would be very kind. I'll look at the uniguard too.
