If you were local I could probably give you a blade guard for the craftsman. your budget does not reach the cost of safety features beyond the blade guard and riving knife it seems. A riving knife is likely not going to happen one the craftsman. If safety features are the ultimate need, then I suppose you may need to change saws. Not even for a shiny oneĪlso building a cross cut sled made an amazing difference in the saw's performance as well.Įdit: I see you were typing at the same time I was. My main saw is now more powerful and has a riving knife, but the old Craftsman still performs well and I would not trade it for a contractors type saw. Putting a good fence on the old saw made it a pleasure to use. Naturally, you will not gain a riving knife with the new fence. As mentioned by others above, when I replaced the standard fence with a Unifence, the saw was reborn. I have an old Craftsman table saw similar to yours.
