Tricks of the Trade continued from page 20 An Easy-to-use, Shop-made Splitter Like many woodworkers, I found the stock splitter that came with my table saw to be troublesome to remove and reattach when necessary. So I made a simple splitter from Vs"-thick flat aluminum stock that I attached to a shop-made, zero-clearance throat plate. I use this setup for most of my sawing operations, replacing it with a splitterless throat Extend length of slot with hand saw Zero-clearance throat plate plate when necessary to make dados and other non-through cuts. To make the splitter, I drilled and filed the screw slots, then bent the aluminum into an "L"-shape in a vise. I filed the vertical leg to 3/32" thick to use with my thin-kerfblade, then filed a chamfer on each side of the leading edge for easy entry into the workpiece during sawing. I used a Japanese ryoba handsaw (any small handsaw without a back will work) to extend the length of the insert plate's blade slot to accommodate the splitter. I slightly chamfered the insert plate slot where the interior corner of the splitter would meet it, to allow the splitter to pull down tightly. I then attached the splitter with screws through the elongated slots, which allow precise alignment. For the splitter to work properly, it's important that your insert plate fits within its opening without side-to-side movement.
