If that won't stop your heart, nothing will! I'll remember
to my dying day when all the carbide tips flew off my then
newly purchased Crapsman contractor's TS. I had ignorantly
placed the metal "feather board" that Sears sells, too close
to the blade.

It just goes against my way of thinking that a manufacturer would produce
a
metal feather board to be used on a TS. Seems like an accident waiting to
happen. I guess it actually was.
I wonder if Rockler still markets the Aluminum push stick, another bad
idea
IMHO.



I agree with that Leon - I favor white pine push sticks in the hope that
they might disintegrate (rather than snatching my paw) when the worst
happens.
