Need to find a blade guard and splitter for an old saw

My recently acquired OLD Jet contractor saw did not have the blade guard anymore. Lost in time.

It's easy enough to stick a little pop-in splitter into a zero clearance insert, but I do also like to use a blade guard. I'm working with Jet customer service to identify the model that I have, but it's so old I'm assuming that spare parts may be nonexistent.

Any suggestions for aftermarket solutions that are "universal" or can be modified to fit? I've seen the overarm guards, and I guess they are a possibilty. But I'm not in love with the bulk, since I plan to use the right wing for a router table. The overarm will get in the way.

No, I've got a Jessem Router table. The bench dog looks interesting. Especially if you have a contractor's saw or a right tilt cabinet saw. Although, I hear it can be installed in the right wing.

I also have a Biesmeyer Overarm guard (waiting for time to install). I hate the delta factory guard.

Dorje,

I don't want to hijack this thread but I do have the Bench Dog table extension. It is a great piece of work but… the inset is not the size that most people produce so you're stuck using the Bench Dog insert. It would be nice to have options, just something to consider.
