Need for Thick Throat Plate
Throat Plate broke in half during a rip cutoff
Kickback occured, the block just cleared free of feather board
Cutoff bounced into FB & into blade, then across the room
thicker plate with splitter that doesn't weaken the plate
2 ripping plates, 1 for typical 3/4", 2nd for high blade cuts, splitter is near blade
I like zero clearance for angle & dado, extra plates in rear, templates on left
