Again note: "Non-occupational" I think pros are more careful.


Living in furniture manufacturing country, I would argue the opposite.


A person making the same types of cuts for hours at a time tend to get bored
and then sloppy, and forget to be careful. *Then the finger leaves the hand.


I think everyone would be surprised how easy you can get used to using
guards, for most cuts.


The thing is, if you're making the same cut for hours at a time, it's
cost effective to make jigs and fixturing specific to that cut and to
incorporate guards and to put up and take down the setup.


I see. Pros are more careful so they don't need guards, and pros are
the only ones that spend enough time cutting that it is cost effective
(again, skew word at work) for them to make guards, hence no one needs
guards. Yep. Ironclad reasoning, fer sure.
