Re: Play Against the Grain: The Wrong Way to Rip

I could not find where to click to show that a blade guard is needed. Riving knife of course a necessity and a blade guard cannot be used on all cuts, however this rip cut in the photo in my shop at least would have a blade guard.

I did notice that this cut was being made on a SawStop saw so I guess that for that reason a blade guard is not technically necessary.

Being a dentist I am especially careful in using proper safety equipment and safe technique for my own benefit. I personally would like to see that all woodworking shows etc. use blade guards and safe technique for their demonstrations. Not every woodworker is aware of the potential danger of a table saw.

This game is a big plus in bringing out these potential dangers to the readers. Thanks!
