Yes, taken to its logical conclusion. Cover the whole rear 1/4 of the blade, clearing the teeth just enough to clear. See it as the first pix at the top & last pix at the bottom of this page: <http://www.leestyron.com/sharksplitter_plans.php> Obsolete now, but the only one you can leave on the saw even when using it to cut long slots. All of his newer, probably safer versions must be removed if the wood passes over the blade. I have two, one for thin kerf blades and one for regular 1/8" kerf blades. And they are NOT alu as shown in the pix at the bottom of the page, but heavily blued steel. I hate alu, it marks the wood like a #4 pencil and you have to sand it off. This steel does not leave a mark. For the same reason, the top surfaces of my BT-3000 are Formica covered. The rip fence is next, it is going to get its sides covered next. Then anything that touches the wood will be covered. This has taken some re- work of the rip fence because of the thickness of the formica, but that is fairly easy. Details at 11 if anyone cares. :) I bought another sheet of Formica day before yesterday. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
