I mainly use 10" blades on my saw (I find it a it scary with a 12" blade installed) so I think I'll have a go at this when I've got the time.
Doing it this way had never occurred to me, probably because of the concentration on trying to achieve a rise and fall riving knife. Thanks for the idea. :2tsup:
