I bought mine from http://www.sawcenter.com/unisawparts.htm ; the part number is 1349941; at this page, do a Find for the part number. It will appear near the bottom of the page. Note there are two (2) models: One is the “Delta splitter”, and the other is the “Biesmeyer Brand”. The prices differ quite a bit.

Thank you!

Thanks for bringing up this important point!!!

NO! Please, don’t sell that table saw. As woodworkers, we can always, as an alternative to using power jointers, use a jointer plane. In fact, I have been working on this as a great alternative, since I have already had trouble with the power unit once (a faulty capacitor). And when I need it, I need it badly. So, back to the jointer plane, a #7!

By the way, buying wood that is already edge jointed may not solve all our problems, as the board(s) can move between purchase time and the time you use it. Nothing will guarantee a board will stay flat and straight, especially when you move it from one environment (the place of purchase), and your shop.

Jointing the edge remains MY rule #1 before I run anything through the table saw, whether I do it on a power jointer, or use my #7 or my #8 jointer planes.

I have the Delta Unisaw X5. It is over four years old now. I don’t know if an after-market splitter might be available for the Craftsman saws, but a Google Search might yield something.

Which model is your Craftsman? That might help with the search for a splitter. I am sure others will also pitch in, if they have that information.

What kind of saw do you have? I’ve been looking for something like that for my Craftsman table saw but haven’t been able to find anything. I just have the standard guard that came with the saw, but it really does get in the way more often than I like. I’d also be willing to sacrifice the guard feature, if I could have a splitter and anti-kickback protection. Lucky I don’t have a kickback story, but there sure are a lot of them out there.
