SuperSilent - Riving knives
Information
Please check whether you already have a riving knife that is suitable for the SuperSilent. The riving
knife must be thicker than the saw body and thinner than the kerf (acc. to DIN EN 1870-1).
We therefore recommend the following riving knife thickness:
• SuperSilent D300 / D303 mm = riving knife with 1.9 mm thickness
• SuperSilent D350 mm = riving knife with 2.2 mm thickness
Make sure to exclusively apply a riving knife with 1.9 mm thickness for diameters of 300 mm and
303 mm. You and your tool will thus be optimally protected. Never use a riving knife with 1.8 mm
thickness – it is too thin.
In many cases our riving knives are wider than those of the machine manufacturer. Do not wonder,
if our riving knife is larger than the original one. You will thus have added stability for sawing –
which is important to avoid jamming of the work piece. We strongly advise against buying a ground
riving knife, because it does not have the required added stability.
How do i find tHe correct riving knife
The following pages describe our riving knife range, which had been specifically optimized for the
SuperSilent. It includes altogether 47 riving knives of the most popular machine manufacturers.
You will easily find the correct one:
1. Open the riving knife overview of your machine manufacturer on the following pages.
2. The choice can already be narrowed down by means of the riving knife thickness (1.9 mm or
2.2 mm).
3. Based on the picture and the diameter range the correct riving knife can normally be defined
very quickly.
4. To be on the safe side: Remove your currently applied riving knife and measure its width and
length. Compare these dimensions with those of the drawing.
5. If you should not find a suitable riving knife under your machine manufacturer, please check
whether any riving knife of other manufacturers could be applied.
6. Done!
The dimensions refer to the manufacturer’s original riving knife. As already mentioned above, we
normally deliver a wider riving knife design.
If it should be impossible to identify a suitable riving knife, we will be pleased to help you. Please
contact us – we may meanwhile have the required riving knife already in stock.
