I'll tag onto Brian's comment with a bit of reinforcement. I believe he's
right in that look how often we see posts here about accidents happening
to folks with all sorts of safety equipment on their tools. Yet, somehow
the accidents happen. Brian isn't arguing against safety equipment, he's
arguing in favor of the most fundamental of all safety equipment -
awareness. Wait long enough and a post will appear about someone who
whacked off a couple of fingers on a SawStop saw, just like we read about
kickback and fingers in blades with splitters and push sticks and...


I'll restate that you have to be blind to not be intimidated by a blade
spinning at 100 mph whether you know it is not going to cut you or not.

Brian however started this all off with the statement,,

Lots of us though have been doing this for decades and still have all our
fingers and toes, just because
we know what we're doing.

WHAT A LOAD OF CRAP.

People that know what they are doing, make mistakes and get hurt.

Slowly Brian has changed his comments that align a bit more with more
sensible comments.
