Factual opinions accepted.

Hand waving generalizations without specific criticism to the points
given below will indicate the poster's lack of knowledge of kickback
and danger to fingers.

Forget what you know about RAS and its inherent danger when you pull
the blade towards you or when you rip with it.

This saw is NOT a RAS as configured.

1 What is the potential danger for kickback when using a slide table
and a screw hold down?

2 What is the potential danger to the operator's fingers if the
operator pushes the slide table from the sides of the table and there
is a slide stop well short of the blade?

This is the saw video:

Notice that the chips are not a problem.

Watch where the hands are placed.

I glanced at the vid. Remind us, what problem does this solve?
