Content: After replacing the Powermatic 66 standard blade guard and anti-kick back with an after market Biesemeyer T-Square Anti-Kickback Snap-In Spreader, I quickly realized that I needed some additional protection from the blade and the wood chips flying in my face. After doing some research I came up with 3 possible options:1) Biesemeyer T-Square Table Saw BladeGuard System, 2) HTC 10A-M50 Brett-Guard Table Saw Guard or 3) HTC 10A-L Brett-Guard Table Saw Guard. As it happens I have a router table on the right side of my saw which eliminated the first 2 options. I went with HTC 10A-L Brett-Guard Table Saw Guard which is mounted on the left of the blade screwed to the extension wing.
Here are some of the good points:
1) Easy to install once you figure out the directions, which were not very clear.
2) Easy to mount and unmount from the table.
3) Easy to use during cuts
4) Nice suction hole on top for dust extraction (this option is the model with a "P" in the model number such as HTC 10A-LP<<<
5) No more dust/chips in my face
6) Hands are forced to stay clear of blade
Not so good points of the blade guard and installation:
1) Instructions not very clear even after 3 readings
2) Missing parts (screws to mount dust cover to bars and screws to mount to saw extension)
3) Needed to file the holes in the mounting base plate to receive the positioning pins, because the pins were slightly out of alignment.
In summary, the HTC 10A-LP Brett-Guard Table Saw Guard is a very good product that will keep your fingers safe and saw dust and chips out of your face. Instructions could be better, but if you spend some time with them you will figure it out. Finally make sure you have all the parts, before you start to assemble, otherwise you will be making an unscheduled trip to the home center.
Summary: Safe and easy too use!
