Thread: Small cutting job - help wanted

I've got a replacement riving knife for my tablesaw which needs to be reshaped (the curve interferes with blade) and I'd like to cut it down to use it as a low-profile riving knife. I have neither the tools nor the skills to do this and am hoping someone in the metro Perth, WA area might be willing to lend a hand for a reasonable fee.

Feel free to PM me or let me know how to reach you. I can come to you.

@BobL kindly offered to help me out and did a great job.

Here are some pictures of the modifications. It's no replacement for the blade guard when it can be used but I'm much happier having it in place when the guard can't be used.

FYI, I purchased this original piece of metal from Carbatec Perth. They ordered in upon my request for a low-profile riving knife, similar to the Sawstop accessory, to fit a 10" Carbatec table saw. What I got was a replacement full-height riving knife for $39.00... which didn't fit--interfered with the blade. Seems to be CTH-110R/L if you're looking for the same but I wonder if a cheaper option would be to buy a cutoff or a square piece made of steel or something else.

Here's the before and after. Now to modify my zero-clearance inserts to fit and I'll one day add a cam screw to the knife to the knife so I can change out the full guard/low-profile/no knife without a spanner.
