Same with mine. I work safer without the guard on my table saw.


My old Craftsman saw was actually safer without the guard. The
splitter/guard support was bent the wrong way, so when you tried to push a
piece of wood through the saw it'd cut and then hang up on the guard
support, but only enough to put pressure against the piece. We all know
what pressure against the piece and thus the blade can lead to...

My new saw actually supports adjusting where the splitter/guard support is
in relation to the blade. If it's out 1/64", a little adjustment here and
there puts it where it should be.
