I mentioned this in the post I just put in the classifieds forum but since it's buried I thought I'd post the question...
Just wondering if there's a variant of the Shark Guard that fits the 21829 that has the updated riving knife with the detachable blade guard and anti-kickback pawls. I 'borrowed' the pictures of it below from an old thread by GerryR (thanks!).
I've been reading a lot of old threads lately with lots of glowing recommendations for Lee's Shark Guards. Took me a little while to realize that my version of the 21829 doesn't riving knife. The attachment points actually appear pretty similar to those on the Shark Guard riving knife but the blade guard appears to lock on differently.
Mostly just curious at this point. The main advantage of the Shark Guard for me just seems to be the dust collection since the guard easily detaches from the knife on this version. I tend to WANT to use my saw a lot more than I actually do use it so I was trying to keep an eye out for used Shark Guards for a while to better justify the cost. That was of course prior to realizing that I'd probably need a different version to fit my saw.
Just curious if a version that fits this model exists. Maybe I'm mistaken and the knives are somehow interchangeable. Thanks for any info! Perhaps I'll get lucky and Lee will chime in! Looks like he's still on here at times...
Edit: Forgot the pictures!
