No, not that kind of pork chop, this kind:
This is the OEM guard from my SCM Minimax FS41E 16" jointer/planer. I opted to go with the euro-guard, but they included this anyway. Its in new/unused condition. SOLD

Just curious, is the Euro guard the finger type that reaches across the cutterhead?
I started with absolutely nothing. Now, thanks to years of hard work, careful planning, and perseverance, I find I still have most of it left.

Not my machine, but this is the guard:

I've used both style and prefer the pork chop guard. You may want to hang on to that until you are really sure you prefer the Euro style.

John: Good advice. I've had the machine for about 18 months and am happy with the euro guard at this point: I wish it had a knuckle or two (like the Felder models) that allow you to fold it down out of the way, but it works and I find it less obtrusive than the pork chop. Phil

Given the overwhelming popularity of pork chops, let me suggest this as an accompaniment:
