Re: Defense Outgunned in Osorio Tablesaw Lawsuit

I like my fingers and so use my head when operating any machinery, table saws included.

And permanently removing or disabling safety equipment is just plain stupid, regardless of the reason. Our society has become so obsessed with increased productivity that people try to do things faster, leading to short-cuts and accidents.

I guess my attitudes were solidified back in high school when a student in another woodworking class injured his hand; when we went in the blood was still all over the saw. It had a lasting impression, although at great cost to that poor kid.
