Guys, I have had enough questions on this to seriously consider it. I worked up some numbers and I think it is doable. The 2.5" port kit for a riving knife saw like the BT's would be $80.00 shipped in US.
Nothing would be finished except perhaps the clamps and bushings.
The riving knife would need sanded and deburred and painted.
The guard part would have the dust port bent already, but it would all have to be glued together.
All parts would need painting. Decals would be included of course.
I would have detailed step by step plans on the build. I would include a deburring tool as well as a syringe and teflon needle for gluing up.
You would need a drill, glue, both tube and solvent types which may be available locally. I would provide links if not.
Bandsaw would help, but jigsaw could be used. Even the table saw with the right blade. This is for trimming the guard parts flush after glue up.
You would need a square to use when gluing up to insure squareness.
Your choice of paint colors.
All the pertainent hardware would be included.
4" dust ports would be $7 more. I now offer 3" ports and they are $3 more. Saws with splitters would be $7 more.
I could likely build up stock on something like this.
It could ship like within the week. I hate having such a long lead time like I have. At least this would give some of the DIYer's another option.
What are ya'lls thoughts on something like this?
Thanks.
