Cove cutting relies on a similar technique of using the sides of the teeth to make the cuts. Main difference being that the amount of "bite" is restricted by the table and blade height. Here, the size of the bite is sort of eyeballed, making this more dangerous. That being said, I like the idea and will be trying it myself. One nice thing besides all the advantages of not needing a jig and long setup time, is that you largely avoid all the ridges left by a dado blade or by using multiple passes over a regular blade. As far as publishing goes, I say go for it. As your magazine clearly states, "Woodworking is inherently dangerous..." Tage Frid had no problem publishing books where he literally free-handed work through the tablesaw!

Don't be sad, we're here! I'm busy in the shop building bookshelves for the office that my wife has been "urging" me to finish for quite some time. Just as authors get "writer's block", I seem to have contracted woodworker's block on this project which involves lots of edgebanding and veneer.
