Well, sadly, I am Lee's first Shark failure. But it did exactly what a guard should do - I didn't get the hit!
I was cutting a piece of 2" thick walnut; the offcut was about 2" x 6" x 5/8". It caught by the blade and the next thing I knew, the guard was broken, the offcut was on the floor 6 feet behind me and it didn't hit me!
Oops, I forgot how to attach a pic.
Oh, well, suffice it to say that Lee's Shark Guard is one heck of a good guard. The left side was nearly blown off the guard from the dust port forward and the dust port was partially dislodged!
His customer service is beyond compare! It happened on Friday morning, I e-mailed him asking what I needed to do to repair it, I got a phone response with in an hour or so and I got the replacement parts in the mail this morning(Wednesday).
I am a happy Shark Guard owner; the rest of you can rest assured that your Shark will protect you very nicely!
