What is the thickness of the splitter knife of the BOSCH PTS 10 table saw?

Question

Accepted Answer

The splitter knife of the BOSCH PTS 10 table saw has a thickness of approximately 3 mm. This dimension is specifically designed to fit the 254 mm saw blade (which has a thickness of 1.8 mm) while maintaining an optimal spacing with it.

The splitter knife serves an essential safety function: it keeps the two parts of the material that has just been cut apart, preventing the blade from getting stuck or the material from closing on the blade during cutting. A thickness of 3 mm ensures that this function is performed correctly.

It is important that the splitter knife is properly aligned with the saw blade to function effectively. According to the manufacturer's specifications, the maximum gap between the blade and the splitter knife should be 5 mm. If this gap is too large, the splitter knife will no longer be able to prevent material jamming.

When changing the blade, please ensure that the thickness of the new blade does not exceed that of the splitter knife (3 mm), so that the space between the two remains optimal. In case of wear or damage to the splitter knife, you can obtain a replacement part from Bosch's customer service using the appropriate reference for the PTS 10 model.
