Abstract
An apparatus (148) for controlling a kerf formed in a work piece by a table saw blade. The apparatus may include a splitter (114) securely positioned to the saw table behind the saw blade, and a kerf keeper (118) that is positioned behind the splitter while the kerf remains open. The kerf keeper may be easily displaced and will automatically move with the work piece when pinched by a closing kerf, thereby keeping the kerf opened and limiting the amount of force exerted by the closing kerf on the saw blade and the splitter. A drill guide base (110) and optionally an adjustable rear drill guide (112) provide for precisely locating the mounting holes for the splitter and kerf keeper relative to the sides of an actual kerf formed by the saw blade. The splitter and/or kerf keeper may be formed by injection molding of a plastic coating (176) over a stamped or die cut metal core (174).
