I use this one a lot when cutting small strips. The rip fence is not shown but is definitely required.

Interesting idea. Any chance of a pic of the other side?

I be thinking - flat with a couple of screw heads(maybe? FH).

I purchased two during the first sale. What is there to say, they fit the 510. They seperate the kerf line. I will admit that I broke the rules, I used the riving knife on thru and thru cuts. Sometimes the upper shield just gets in the way. It works fine, and I am too lazy to make my own.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all.

Not a real good picture but it is the other side.

There have been some holes added for the feather board attachment.

I have a second one of these that was cut down so that it can be used for a non-through cut.

They are on sale (ie free shipping) again so I thought I would bring up the subject again to see if any one has comments.

I did not purchase one so I can't very well do a review, how about you?

I have one and I like it a lot for bevel ripping, especially with smaller pieces. I haven't used it for anything else.
