DELTA 34-976  Deluxe Uniguard Table Saw Blade Guard

Amazon.com Product Description

The DELTA 34-976 Deluxe Uniguard Table Saw Blade Guard fits DELTA 10-inch Unisaws and Contractor's Saws, and has an innovative, overhead design that doesn't have a mounting bracket behind the blade to interfere with dado cutting or molding operations. The operator remains protected for non-through cutting operations since the blade guard doesn't have to be removed. For through-cutting, the guard has a removable splitter with anti-kickback pawls that afford the operator additional safety. With a U-shaped support arm, you'll be able to cut the full capacity of the fence; you can also keep half the guard elevated for use of a push stick when cutting with the fence close to the blade. The Uniguard Table Saw Blade Guard comes includes the guard, splitter, table mounting bracket, support arm and extension.


  • Fixed splitter maintains correct alignment with saw blade at all times
  • Tilts with saw arbor for angle cutting
  • Easily removed for non-through cutting applications
  • Clear, see-thru LEXAN, split-basket shields
  • Universal Switch Mounting Bracket

5.0 out of 5 stars I'm crossing my fingers (which I plan on keeping), July 12, 2000
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: DELTA 34-976 Deluxe Uniguard Table Saw Blade Guard (Tools & Home Improvement)
As a woodworking beginner, I'm very focused on safety. I've read dozens of posts about fingers being severed on table saws. These accidents, it seems, are usually due to removed blade guards.

The uniguard is a blade guard you won't remove. The two split halves rotate back independently, so you can still guard the blade when cutting very thin pieces. And the guard hangs from above and rests on the work, so you can use it when performing non-through cuts.

The splitter that comes with the uniguard is its second great feature. It is easily removed for non-through cuts, and more to the point, easily replaced afterwards. The splitter is separate from the guard, so you can remove it and still guard the blade, unlike the standard blade guard that comes with the table saw.

The quality of the uniguard is first rate. The large tube you see in the picture is heavy gauge steel. The only improvement I might suggest is making the blade guard (the pieces directly over the... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars My Flashbacks Of Blade Injuries Are Over!, August 18, 2000

This review is from: DELTA 34-976 Deluxe Uniguard Table Saw Blade Guard (Tools & Home Improvement)
I didn't want to but I had to...buy a blade guard! I got my new Delta Unisaw with a 52" Biesemeyer Fence and I assembled it minus the blade guard it came with for obvious reasons...they get in the way! So, I figured I'd just go without until I made my first few cuts with this power horse machine. Well, I started having flashbacks of an accident that almost cost me my thumb a few months ago because the guard that came with the blade kept getting in the way. Remembering the sound of my hand hitting the blade and how quickly bad things can happen...I ordered the Deluxe Uniguard.

It came a day ahead of time on Fedex 3 Day Express. I opened it up and took out the plans AND as usual, there was no indication that this would fit on a saw with Biesemeyer Fence. It only showed the Unifence and some other type but not mine! After looking the situation over, I had a choice. Either send it back to Toolcrib and get the Biesemeyer Blade Guard (which [costs] more) or make it... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Value - But read the warning below, December 10, 2004

The Deluxe Uniguard is a good value at $270 - and I took advantage of Amazon's $25 off sale so my final cost was $245. Such a deal!
Now the details:
The UPS people did their usual guerilla routine with the package. So even though Delta packs this guard very well using both wood and cardboard, UPS still destroyed it. On delivery day when I answered the doorbell, I found the 6 foot tall package at my door - one end crushed and wide open and the UPS driver already back in his truck and driving away.
Upon inspection I found that the plastic accessory tray was cracked and that the splitter assembly was nowhere to be found. It's probably on a UPS loading dock somewhere.
I called Delta immediately and to my suprise, a human answered the phone! No waiting, no music on hold and no message telling me how important my call was to them. They took my information and they agreed to send out replacement parts. Satisfied that I wouldn't need to return the rest of... Read more
