What does a table saw splitter do?

It holds the cut open behind the blade so the wood cannot pinch the blade, which is the main cause of kickback. It also helps keep the cut straight on long rips.

Will it fit my table saw?

Fit depends on your saw's mounting slot and the distance from the blade. Measure the mounting point and compare it with the 10.24 x 4.92 in plate before buying.

Does it come with screws or a guard?

No. It is the steel splitter only. You supply the bolts and any guard or pawls your saw uses.

Is it thick enough to be safe?

At about 0.12 in it is thinner than the blade kerf, which is what you want so the wood does not bind on it. Keep it aligned with the blade.

Can I use it with a thin-kerf blade?

Check the plate against your blade's kerf. A splitter thicker than the kerf will bind; one much thinner gives less support.

Our take on the UPOUART Metal Table Saw Splitter

The UPOUART Table Saw Splitter is a chromium-plated steel riving knife that mounts behind the blade to keep the kerf open and reduce kickback. Its thin 0.12 in profile is meant to sit close to the blade, and the plated finish resists rust and wear. It suits woodworkers who want a basic safety splitter for a saw that lacks one. It is a bare metal part with no anti-kickback pawls, guard or mounting hardware, so check that its shape and mounting match your saw before relying on it.
