Well when we got our tablesaws they all came with the Manufactures blade guard,splitter and anti kick back pawls.
When ripping off a thin slice, say 1/4 in. wide from a 6in. wide board and the 6 in. up against the fence that the off cut would momentarily remain stuck between the guard and the blade.when the stock was passed completly
through the guard would then drop and the 1/4in. off cut would be kicked back like a spear.
The guard that came with the tablesaw is memory.
When ever ripping the splitter and anti kickback pawls are always used as well as feather boards.
Looks like its the aftermarket blade guards just like the mitergage
