Upper Saw Guard for 510

Post by nd23rin »

Hey guys, I was wondering if there was a way to retrofit one of the other SS upper guards to work with the 510 lower guard since I can't find an upper anywhere but ss.com for $120?

Thanks!@

May I suggest you try Sharkguard.

They are a little cheaper, plus you get the added advantage of having a upper dust port. Plus they come in colors with decals of shark teeth that really make your SS look snazzy.

Incidentally the pictures in the ad are of my SS I tested the prototype for Lee who is a really really really nice guy.

Hi,

Is this the part?

If so then it should come in more like $100 with shipping and tax, no??

I have a guard for a 510 lying around doing me no good. Email me off site and we maybe can trade wood or parts.
