I never have a problem seeing the blade doing the cutting while using a
guard -- I've never understood this argument.


It's also worth noting that no one can see the *teeth* of the sawblade while
the motor is turned on. So what one thinks of as the blade, visually, is
actually only part of the blade (and not the part farthest forward, nor the
part that can take a finger off).
