Riving Knife
Mounting Block
The riving knife and splitter/riving knife must be
aligned with the blade when installed. If either one
is not aligned with the blade, then the workpiece
will be forced sideways during the cut, which will
increase the risk of kickback.
The riving knife and splitter/riving knife mount to
a block that can be repositioned to correctly align
the riving knife or splitter/riving knife to the blade.
The mounting block adjusts by turning the set
screws in each corner of the block. Figure 163
shows the set screws associated with controlling
the mounting block position. Have patience when
adjusting the mounting block, because it requires
trial-and-error to perform with accuracy.
