Howdy all,
I was wondering if anyone reading has experience with using the pm 66 splitter and guard assembly. While this is obviously the older design, the whole guard assembly is clunky. The splitter is thinner metal than the later pm2000 splitter and it also is stationary on the table. The PM2000 moves w/the blade adjustments.
Any tips with getting the splitter aligned properly. Its fairly thin metal and so actually can get bent fairly easily. From the look of it, if the pawels did try to catch a kick back it would try to push the whole guard assembly up. I'm just wondering about opinions and experiences anyone has had with using these. It seems fairly high maintenance with regard to keeping and checking alignment and again is pretty clunky. Yes, it's 30 year old.
