Just got my freeguard installed. Seems to work ok but need to get use to it. Anyone increase the height of the plexiglass piece to accommodate thicker stock? I'm thinking of just getting thicker spacers and just increasing the height of the plexiglass part. Any reason this is a bad idea?

Did you have to drill holes or did it fit existing holes?

I don't see any reason not to make spacers for thicker material, however, I would only use them when needed. Part of what makes the dust collection effective is the close fit.

That's a Woodpeckers product? I think I have seen something so similar as to be identical by at least one other vendor, if not more?
No branding? Is in phenolic? or aluminum?

I jokingly titled my Deep Dive video on it "Woodpeckers Best Kept Secret".
