I got a Shark Guard for my Powermatic 66. Today I was slicing up a two by four in order to make some little pieces to stiffen the corners of a router dust enclosure, and I noticed that the guard was too low to permit the 1 1/2" high wood to go under it. The metal part the pawls hang on extends sideways from the splitter, and the underside is a tiny bit less than 1 1/2" off the table surface.

I thought this was a little weird, since there must be a lot of people who like to cut up two-by lumber for various purposes. I would think that a guard that won't accept this standard size would be a lot of trouble for most users. Has anyone else had this problem?

It turned out I could solve the problem by putting a piece of scrap under the splitter where it attaches to the splitter mount, but that seems a little cheesy. I'm wondering if I'm having this problem because my saw has one of the weird male splitter mounts.
