Specifications

• Model Number: 1791792 - Identifies this specific Riving Knife within the Wilton Corporation product line.
• Manufacturer: Wilton Corporation - A recognized provider of quality tools and accessories.
• Kerf Thickness: .079 inches - Precisely calibrated to match the kerf of thin saw blades for optimal functionality and safety.
• Design Profile: Low Profile, Thin - Engineered to sit close to the saw blade, effectively separating the material without obstructing the cutting process.

Key Features

• Exact Kerf Match: Engineered to precisely match .079 inch thin kerf saw blades, ensuring seamless operation and efficient material separation during cuts.
• Low Profile & Thin Design: This construction allows the Riving Knife to closely follow the blade path, maintaining an open kerf without interfering with the workpiece.
• Integrated Safety Device: Functions as a vital component in kickback prevention by keeping the cut material apart behind the blade, significantly reducing the risk of pinching.
• Durable Construction: Built to withstand the demands of regular use in woodworking environments, providing consistent and reliable safety support.

Applications

• Table Saw Operations: Serves as an essential safety accessory for table saws, particularly when equipped with thin kerf blades.
• Ripping Lumber: Effectively separates the wood behind the blade during ripping tasks, helping to maintain a consistent kerf width and prevent material binding.
• Kickback Prevention: Utilized during through-cuts to ensure the cut material does not pinch the saw blade, which is a primary cause of dangerous kickback.
• General Woodworking Projects: Ideal for various woodworking applications where precise cuts and enhanced operator safety are paramount.

Benefits

• Enhanced Operator Safety: Significantly reduces the risk of dangerous kickback incidents by preventing the workpiece from binding against the saw blade.
• Smoother, Cleaner Cuts: Helps maintain a clear path for the blade, reducing friction and resulting in more consistent and higher-quality cut surfaces.
• Increased Workpiece Control: Provides better control over the material as it moves through the saw, contributing to more accurate and predictable cutting results.
• Optimized for Thin Kerf Blades: Specifically designed to complement thin kerf blades, maximizing their cutting efficiency and safety benefits for delicate or thin stock.
