[quote="ChrisNeilan"]Precisely. My point is set up the Greenie as a dedicated dado or whatever... He has another table saw for most of his other sawing needs?]
The newer guards will not work with the Greenie.
The Greenie can handle a dado sans guard.
Was that your point?
The greenie is a 9" TS.
New-to-me MARK 5 - use, restore, or part out?

Well, yes! If you dont have or can't get the guards, use it for operations that don't need one. Like dados. I find it a pain to change the saw out for a dado or box joint blade. I leave mine on one of the Shopsmiths to save time. I almost always use the same dado width...
