Shark Guard

[OhYea]

How do you choose the thickness of riving knife to order for a BT3100?

[Stytooner]

I'd say that at least 98% of the Sharks I've made for the BT's were the thin kerf variety. .090". It just seems to preform well for standard and thin kerf blades.
Thanks, Guys.

Keith, I think that is the one I would choose as well and probably for the same reason.

Lee, are you sold out of the 7.0 model, or do you have some of those left?

[Stytooner]

The 7.0's are obsolete. I don't have any of these made and I'm really not set up to run them.
I know the 7.0 looked very cool, but the 8.0's are stronger and have better visibility. It's not that the 7.0's aren't strong as well, just not as strong. Since I know this, I don't feel good about offering the older models.

One idea is to see if one of the guys on here wants to upgrade either to a larger port or just an 8.0 version. You might be able to work out a deal with them.

Anyone wanting to do that?

My apologies.

FWIW,
I might be interested, my guard is pretty new but I am really thinking about the larger port on 8.0- anyone want to make me an offer I can't refuse 8~}

BTW, anyone that's considering an upgrade and would like to sell their 7.0 shark can pm or email me.

[Stytooner]
