Replacement riving knife: match the code before the stars

Updated: 24 October 2026

You have a table saw with a missing or bent plate, and the amazon.co.uk title already names the model. That title is not the parts diagram. A replacement riving knife has to match the type on the rating plate and the code on the diagram, then the kerf of the blade you fit. The [riving knife comparison](/hub/hand-tools/riving-knife) lines up the six listings in this set. Peter F. read those amazon.co.uk listings and the public UK sources. He did not fit a plate, and a star line is not a workshop test. Prices are GBP shelf figures and can change. A purchase through our links may earn a commission at no extra cost to you.

What you need from the saw before you search

Start with the rating plate. Write down the model and the type. A DWE7485, a DWE7491, a DWE7491RS and a DW744 are four different saws, and a knife for one is not a spare for the others. You also need the mount. A plate enters a clamp behind the blade and rises with the arbor. A universal title will not create a clamp the saw never had. Older saws often have a splitter on the guard or the table. The knife must be thicker than the blade body and thinner than the kerf. That check is on the riving knife thickness page.

Codes that do not match the amazon title

Spare Parts World lists DeWalt N791854 for the DWE7485 210 mm compact saw, 110 V and 240 V, at £18.99 including VAT. The two amazon listings that name the DWE7485 both claim N695948, at £23.47 and £30.41. Those are different codes. Spare Parts World lists 1004695-77 for the DWE7491 Type 1 and Type 2 at £30.99 including VAT, and 1004695-69 at £48.99 including VAT. The amazon listing for the DWE7491RS and DWE7491RSR claims N506855 at £22.03. The DW744X listing uses A23013 at £45.46. That sits close to the £48.99 figure, and 1004695-69 is a DWE7491 knife, not a DW744X knife. The Ridgid listing names the RTS11, RTS12, RTS22 and RTS23, and a DeWalt DCG414 grinder bullet on that page is a listing error.

The six listings after that filter

Stop when the code disagrees with your diagram. Ohoho, B0CMXF6Y1J, claims N506855 for the DWE7491RS and DWE7491RSR. Reviews disagree about fit, and some describe changing the holes. Thickness is not stated. RUB0B0SHOP, B0FKBHFHZT, and Generic, B08WHJD3VB, both claim N695948 for the DWE7485. The dearer page says genuine OEM while the brand field says Generic. BERPSE, B0C8HW47ZL, is the Ridgid plate, part 89240015076. ServiceNet, B00XNMKZPM, is A23013 for the DW744X, and the size cell prints a 2.54 cm cube. PACKOVE, B0H63B71QY, names no saw and prints both 2.5 mm and 0.2 cm. A conditional pick is on the best riving knife page.

Price only after the code matches

Once a code matches, this set runs from £22.03 to £45.46. Pay the amazon price when the diagram prints that number, not when the star line is the highest. A 5.0 from one or two ratings is the smallest sample here, and most written reviews are from the United States or Canada. If the title names your saw and the plate does not fit, Consumer Rights Act 2015, section 11, is the rule a UK buyer can point at. Drilling the holes ruins the return.

Common questions

How do I find the right replacement riving knife?
Write down the model and the type from the rating plate, then the code on the parts diagram for that type. Search that code. A title that names the saw and a different number is a different claim. Compare the holes with the mount you have, and compare the thickness with the blade body and the kerf, before you pay for a second plate. Stars come after those two checks.
Is N695948 the DWE7485 knife sold in the UK?
It is the code on two amazon.co.uk listings in this set, at £23.47 and £30.41. A UK dealer page for the DWE7485 lists N791854 at £18.99 including VAT. Those codes are not interchangeable on the evidence here. Use the code on your own type diagram. If it says N791854, the amazon titles are not that part.
What part number is the DWE7491 riving knife?
The UK dealer page we checked lists 1004695-77 for the DWE7491 Type 1 and Type 2, at £30.99 including VAT, and 1004695-69 at £48.99 including VAT. The amazon listing that names the DWE7491RS claims N506855 at £22.03. Confirm which of those codes your diagram prints. Do not assume the cheaper amazon code replaced the dealer code.
Will a universal riving knife fit my saw?
Only if the saw already has a riving-knife mount and the holes, the thickness and the height happen to match. The universal listing in this set names no model, and its thickness line disagrees with itself: 2.5 mm in the title and 0.2 cm in the dimensions. A saw with no mount cannot use that plate. Do not drill the steel to force it.
Is a genuine plate cheaper than the amazon listing?
It can be. N791854 at £18.99 including VAT undercuts both amazon N695948 listings, and it is a different code. 1004695-77 at £30.99 including VAT is dearer than the N506855 listing at £22.03, and those are different codes too. Compare like with like. A lower price on a different number is not a saving on the part your diagram names.
Can I return a plate that does not fit the model in the title?
If the description says the plate fits your model and it does not, the goods do not match the description under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, section 11. Keep the plate unmodified so that route stays open. Cutting or drilling the holes is a change you made, and it is a poor way to discover that the code was wrong. Check the diagram before you open a tool on the steel.
