Hi,
I apologize in advance if this question has been asked(probably has), but the search for me turned up nothing. I just purchased a used Delta Contractor Saw off the craigslist(model 34-441 with a unifence). This is a huge step up for me from a basic craftsman benchtop saw. Just the much lower noise level alone makes much more comfortable using the saw.
Unfortunately, the saw didn't come with a blade guard or a splitter. Not sure if the previous owner took it off or if it came like that originally. Anyway, it sounds like a blade guard and a splitter are very important, so I would like to get one - either the original one or aftermarket.
I searched for original one and couldn't really find much. Nothing on ebay and all the parts websites list it as discontinued. I'm not sure if some newer delta part will fit my saw?
Or should I got with some aftermarket system? A shark unit turned up in my searches and while it seems nice, $170 is pretty steep as I really dont use the table saw all that often. Is there any other guard and splitter in the under $50 range that I should consider?
Thank you for your response.
