Best Blade Guard for a Powermatic 66 - artistwantab - 01-15-2020

I purchased a used powermatic 66 and it came complete with the exception of the blade guard.

I was going to buy a used one on Ebay but thought I would ask here to see if there is a better option.

Thanks in advance.

I have a Sharkguard on mine. I love it.


But I have the original PM66 guard I'll ship to you for $75. It's not as good though.

Same on my 66. Guard, all 3 splitters (different heights) and pawls. One of my better purchases.

Count me in as well 
Yes
It works well and is easy to work with.
I use mine on every possible cut.

Sadly,   I don't think he is in business anymore.

I reached out to him months ago and never heard anything back.   After the response here I contacted him again via email and tried calling twice and no reply.

The company is still running as far as I know.

That Shark Guard looks wonderful and will suck up any dust coming up from the blade.

I don't believe so.   I have made numerous calls and emails and no reply.     I am wary of simply buying the product on his online store because I need to know his leed time.  I travel a lot for business and it wont do either of us any good if he sends it while I am away and its returned to him.
