orionwithtools

Okay, time for some honesty:

I have 4 table saws, none with guards of any sort installed. My dad was a journeyman who turned me loose with all his tools when I was in Jr. High. He must have done something right teaching me. At 54 yr old, with all my injuries, none are tool related.

I agree with most here. Never use a table saw tired or distracted. I stop an hour early with the big tools on a jobsite. The last hour of the day seems to be when everyone is tired, rushed, and distracted. I do not let any unskilled labor use cutting tools. I focus and use push sticks 100% when required.

I know, I know, I will get a guard on the unisaw when it is set up in the new shop this fall!
