ABSTRACT:
A splitter for installation behind a rotating blade of a table saw to prevent contact between the kerf of a work piece and the upwardly moving rear portion of the saw blade. The splitter is indexed from the side of an actual kerf rather than from a side of the saw blade. In this manner, variations in kerf width resulting from variations in blade width and vibration of the saw blade are accommodated. Splitters having work piece contacting surfaces with incremental amounts of offset relative to the side of the kerf may be selected to provide a desired degree of interference and resulting force between the splitter and the work piece.
