Anyone have one of these?
My Delta aftermarket splitter is for wide kerf blades only and is fairly worthless at this point.

Hi Boris:
Want to unload that Delta aftermarket splitter? I might be interested if the $$ is right.
Thanks.

It is just a dumb $50 splitter; not the overarm type; just a piece of steel about 3x5 inches. I've tried to take it down to a thin kerf with marginal success.
You really don't want this thing, do you?
Regards,
Boris

Boris,
I have the Merlin, thin kerf splitter on my old Unisaw. Got it on sale @ Rockler several months ago. I like it very much. Pops off at the push of a button (you have to drill a hole in your throat plate to push the button). The "rod" can stay mounted to my saw so only the "plate" part needs to be removed. The "rod" and attaching hdwr. pose no difficulty inside the saw. Had to remove material from the bottom of the factory throat plate to make it work @ 45 deg. position.
Sale price was around $60 and I think for that money it's a super accessory. I do think that the regular price of $109.00 is a bit much but even then it's still a very nice splitter.
Enjoy!
Mack
