Best riving knife: one saw, one code, then a listing

Updated: 24 October 2026

You already know which table saw is in the shed, and you want the best riving knife among the six plates on amazon.co.uk. There is no single winner. A 5.0 from one or two ratings is the smallest sample, and a universal title names no mount. The [riving knife comparison](/hub/hand-tools/riving-knife) holds the six rows, the prices and the review counts. Peter F. compared the captured amazon.co.uk listings on 22 October 2026. He did not run a saw, and a star line is not a safety test. Prices are GBP shelf prices and can change. A purchase through our links may earn a commission at no extra cost to you.

What best can mean for a spare plate

Best, on this page, means the listing to open when the code matches the diagram. It does not mean the highest stars. PACKOVE’s one rating at 5.0, and the Generic page’s two ratings at 5.0, would win a sort by stars. Ohoho has the largest sample, 4.5 from 69, at £22.03, and it still only applies to a DWE7491RS or DWE7491RSR. The model-then-code filter is the replacement riving knife guide.

If the saw is a DWE7485

Two listings claim N695948 for the DWE7485. RUB0B0SHOP, B0FKBHFHZT, is £23.47 with 3.8 from 22 ratings. Generic, B08WHJD3VB, is £30.41 with 5.0 from two ratings, and the bullets say genuine OEM while the brand field says Generic. Open the £23.47 page. One review describes a plate that sat in the slot, then bent left and jammed in hardwood. Neither listing states a thickness. A thin-kerf blade still needs the check on the riving knife thickness page. The Ohoho plate is titled for the DWE7491RS.

If the saw is a DWE7491RS

Ohoho, B0CMXF6Y1J, is the only page here that names the DWE7491RS and DWE7491RSR. It claims N506855, costs £22.03, and shows 4.5 from 69 ratings. That is the top pick in this amazon set for that named saw, and the condition is the code. UK dealer stock for the DWE7491 Type 1 and Type 2 is 1004695-77 at £30.99 including VAT, not N506855. If the diagram prints 1004695-77, buy that part. Reviews disagree about fit. Some describe altering the holes. Treat a miss of about 2 mm as a return, not as a job for a drill. Thickness is not stated, and the brand is Ohoho rather than DeWalt. Skip the £45.46 ServiceNet page. That title is a DW744X and part A23013.

Ridgid, the DW744X, and the plate with no model

BERPSE, B0C8HW47ZL, is the only page that names the Ridgid RTS11, RTS12, RTS22 and RTS23. It is £22.74, part 89240015076, with 3.9 from 43 ratings. Open it if that is your saw and the diagram uses that number. Skip it if you own a DeWalt. Reviews often describe cutting the plate so the holes will fit. ServiceNet, B00XNMKZPM, is the DW744X page, titled as a DeWalt OEM A23013 at £45.46, with 4.0 from 30 ratings. The manufacturer field says ServiceNet. Reviews dispute the OEM line, and the size cell prints a 2.54 cm cube. Use it only when the diagram says A23013. PACKOVE, B0H63B71QY, at £26.50, says universal, 2.5 mm and splitter, names no saw, and prints 0.2 cm.

Common questions

What is the best riving knife on amazon.co.uk in this set?
There is no best plate for every saw. For a DWE7491RS whose diagram agrees with N506855, the Ohoho listing at £22.03, with 4.5 from 69 ratings, is the one to open. For a DWE7485 whose diagram says N695948, the RUB0B0SHOP listing at £23.47 is the better of the two pages that use that code. If the diagram prints a dealer code instead, buy that part and leave these titles.
Which plate is the one for a DWE7485?
Only the two N695948 listings name that saw. Prefer the £23.47 RUB0B0SHOP page, with 22 ratings, over the £30.41 Generic page, with two ratings and an OEM line the brand field does not support. If your diagram says N791854, neither amazon page is that part. The UK dealer price we checked for N791854 is £18.99 including VAT. Thickness is unstated on both amazon pages, so measure before you fit a thin-kerf blade.
Which plate is the one for a DWE7491RS?
The Ohoho N506855 listing, at £22.03 and 4.5 from 69 ratings, is the only title here that names the DWE7491RS and DWE7491RSR. Fit reviews disagree, so check the holes. If the diagram says 1004695-77, the dealer part at £30.99 including VAT is the match, and the amazon code is a different claim. Do not substitute the DW744X listing because its price looks like a genuine-part price.
Is the five-star universal knife the one to buy?
No. PACKOVE’s 5.0 is one rating, at £26.50, on a page that names no saw and prints both 2.5 mm and 0.2 cm. A universal title does not describe your mount. Buy it only if you have measured the holes and the thickness yourself and both printed figures can be true for your blade, which they cannot be at the same time.
Is the £45 listing the best because it says OEM?
The ServiceNet page says DeWalt OEM in the title and ServiceNet in the manufacturer field. Reviews on that page dispute the OEM claim and the hole spacing. The printed size is a 2.54 cm cube, and the price is £45.46 for a DW744X part number, A23013. Those words are not a quality rank. Use the page when the diagram says A23013, and ignore it for every other saw in this set.
Who should not buy any of these six?
Do not buy yet if the saw has no riving-knife mount, if you cannot read a type label or a diagram, or if you cannot measure the blade body and the kerf. Do not buy a plate in order to drill it. Do not buy the Ridgid-named plate for a DeWalt, or a DWE7491 plate for a DWE7485.
