- Thanks for this information. Your ASCII diagrams were
- quite helpful.

- Following, Robert Haar asks
- ********
- A couple of questions:
-
- How high can the guard be raised above the table top?
- ( I would need
- about 5" clearance for a sliding cutoff table that I
- use.)
-
- Can the the whole guard be remove or swung out of the
- way easily?
- (There are some operations such making the cheek cuts
- on tenons
- that would seem to require this.)
- *****************
-
- And I respond;
-
- The two-piece guard can be "flipped up" like the old
- uniguard giving a roughly 5 inch vertical clearance.
- Also, the bent portion of the "arm" up to the utility
- backet (WW in the ascii diagram) can be removed
- quickly by unscrewing a single knob. Finally, the
- entire are could be removed/tilted out of the way by
- loosening 3 nuts.
