When cutting dados it is necessary to completely remove the safety guard/riving knife. This preserves the nut positions.

This is simply a shim that is the same thickness as the DW746 table saw's riving knife.  When you remove the riving knife and blade guard to cut a dado, put this in where the riving knife was.  Then tighten the nuts again.  This will keep the nuts in the right position, making it easier to restore the riving knife to the same position.

The shape lets it rest on top of the two bolts that hold the riving knife.  When it isn't being used, it can sit to the left of the riving knife as shown in the photo.

This one is designed for 12 gauge steel (1/12" inch thick).  But, you can scale it in the Z axis if your riving knife is a different thickness,
