    It seems to me that the trivial extra trouble of fitting the rear blade guard block and a stop is well worthwhile from the safety point of view. Without them, your thumb may be at risk from the blade emerging through the rear fence.

    G'day Jill,

    Possibly a little late but if you are still looking for ideas - check out my last post in this thread which shows the perspex cover for the blade - for me it works extremely well.

    Since then I have lowered the riving knife which allows me to also do simple trenching or rebates without having to remove the knife which originally was well above the blade.

    Just some thoughts, regards,
    Bob

    Hi Bob, I really liked your U shaped perspex guard on the rear of the fence, it is the best one around.
    regards,
