The other reviewer doesn't know what he's talking about. I have used this system for years. Nothing can repeat cuts like this jig and the Pattern book is great.
I picked up this jig when I was new to woodworking and had no problem figuring it out.
I'm the owner of a Grizzly 3HP 1023 SLW left-tilt saw Grizzly G1023SLW 10" Left-Tilt Cabinet Table Saw and after much research and cogitation ordered the Delta Uniguard system to replace the stock blade guard/ splitter combination. I read on some forums that the fit was a problem because of Grizzly's Biesemeyer-type fence rails, so I ordered the Uniguard Biesemeyer flat adapter bar, too, thinking I would need it. I didn't, and it wouldn't work anyway, so I returned it. Don't make my mistake!
The Uniguard blade guard's U-shaped pipe is easy to mount underneath the Griz's L-shaped rear fence bar once you drill three holes in the bar, more or less equally spaced. The Uniguard's mounts bolt up underneath the bar and the pipe slides in. This took all of five minutes, and though the guard arm may have an inch or two less clearance from the tabletop at the blade, this isn't a problem. It works like a charm. So does the splitter, once aligned behind the blade.
In short: I'm a happy camper! True, no dust port, but the simplicity of the setup in use and the huge savings compared to other similar systems makes up for that in my opinion. My fingers feel much safer, and the saw now seems more elegant to use, especially on long rips. Using the router mounted underneath the table may be a bit more complicated now, but I have yet to find out.
I have pictures of my install and will try to post them online where others can find them.
Product came quickly and was as sold. However postage due was required form USPS to get item. So I was charged poastage at checkout and again by USPS. Never have had this happen before. This is a poor practice.
