This thing is pure magic and I cannot recommend it enough for Delta Unisaw owners, right-tilting that is. No more having to un-bolt and re-bolt the old splitter on and off. The safety features are great, obviously, but the real attraction, and why I bought it, was for the fact that you can easily drop it down below the table when you don’t need it. With the Delta 34-868 splitter, you also get the piece of mind of also having the anti-kickback fingers, which further help prevent boards from sliding backwards, which can cause the board from hitting the blade and then come flying at you. The splitter, or riving knife, helps keep material from coming back into the path of the blade. Without them, it is just a matter of time before you get a nasty kickback accident that could severely hurt you. ConclusionĪ splitter, or riving knife, is an essential safety feature of any table saw. I am not sure why it would matter, but in the reviews some people say it would not work on their left-tilt saws. Now, I must say that I have a right-tilt Unisaw and I think this splitter is designed for right-tilt only, but I am not 100% sure. In the photo below you can see the old splitter mount and the two mounting holes. Basically, remove the old splitter mount.

So, with some knowledge of what a splitter is and what anti-kickback fingers do, let’s take a look at why I love this Delta 34-868 splitter! Installation: Again, this can prevent a board from launching back at you and causing injury. These fingers have “teeth” on them that if, for some reason, a board tries to come backwards from the saw, the fingers catch the board and prevent it from sliding backwards. The Delta 34-868 splitter also has built-in anti kick-back fingers. Needless to say, a splitter or a riving knife are essential safety mechanisms in a table saw. A splitter is fixed it doesn’t move with the blade. You can still do a kerf cut with the riving knife in place. A riving knife is like a splitter except it only sticks up to just below the top of the blade and moves up and down with the blade as you raise and lower the blade. Many table saws today have a riving knife. This would cause the board to also pinch against the blade and potentially cause the blade to catch on the board and send it flying.at you!

Let’s say you didn’t have a splitter and were ripping a board that had tension in it and as you were cutting the board, it started to pinch itself back together, behind the blade, as you were cutting it. On its own, a splitter sits behind the blade and helps prevent a board from drifting back into the blade, once it has been cut, which would cause serious kickback and potential injury. Most table saws have a splitter built into the blade guard. Email with questions and thanks for buying! Be sure to add me to your favorites list!
