OK, it's now Nov. 10 so where is this GREAT PLAN for this saw box? I really expected better from FINE WOODWORKING MAGAZINE. REALLY.

lets get this straight, HE WAS RIPPING A 2 1/4" WIDE BOARD, FREE HAND, WITHOUT A RIP FENCE. First of all, THIS IS THE DUMMEST THING YOU COULD DO. You can't rip cut wood free hand on a TABLE SAW without something giving and most likely it will be the wood flying off the table saw and some part of your body meeting a very fast spinning BLADE and STEEL is stonger then FLESH. You NEVER, NEVER RIP WOOD WITOUT A RIP FENCE, PERIOD. It isn't RYOBI'S failt that this IDIOT MISSUSED the table saw so he shouldn't have been AWARDED anything. I have been a woodworker since 1970 and have never cut any part of my body with a table saw or any of my power or hand tools. I watch what I am doing and I'm safe around my tools because I know that they are DANGEROUS and unpredictable.
