I haven't used a blade guard for years, but was reading a book

Question: Do you use one? If not, why not?
NO. I'm not going to stick my feet in my lawnmower and I'm not going to
put my hands into my tablesaw blade. The guard is more trouble that
it's worth. If I was cutting tons of MDF all day, then a guard with DC
would be a must.
