Kity 419/Axy TS200 Question

[jw00d]

Hello. Was wondering if there's any fellow Kity 419 TS owners out there that could help me with a question please?

I recently picked a 419 up that was missing it's riving knife, which I was able to make from photos. However it was also missing the spacer plate that holds the knife out from the mount (#25 on the attached).
Just wondering if anyone with a Kity, Axy or any other clone could measure theirs, most importantly the thickness, so I could make myself one please? Axminster told me there's a 5 month leadtime on getting a spare from China!

Many thanks,
Jamie

I can check tonight on my Axi AC216 if you want.

But can't you estimate it with washers /shims, given that the riving knife must be in line with the blade?

Thanks for the offer bp,

Yes, unless a Kity owner replies I will go down the route of shims/measuring/adjusting before making one. Just need my new blade to arrive first.

Cheers.

Just measured on my Kitty 419 and both plates were 5.01mm
