Kudos. I am safety conscious and usually use the the guard. While we speak of safety and experience, it seems to me that most of the lost fingers come off experienced woodworkers, not beginners who are somewhat afraid of the spinning saw blade. I bought a Jet table saw at a great price not knowing the price was great because riving knives would become mandatory. The retrofit aftermarket riving knife would not fit my saw. My first table saw was a which had a great , very easy to use blade guard. Cabinet saw makers could have learned something from that.
