Question: Do you use one? If not, why not?

Nope! I can still count to ten but the closest call I have ever had was with
the guard on. I find it a distraction and always in the way. I am not a full
time woodworker but have used a table saw for 50yr (just every now and then)
so don't get what you would call comfortable with the blade, so it scares
hell out of me and I want to be able to see it at all times. RM~

PS, I use all other precautions, push stick and etc.
