Default Table Saw purchase question

This comment will undoubtedly loose the usual ****storm of debate on a
subject that has already been flogged to death. I am strongly of the
opinion that having a saw with an idiot-proof feature allows you to be
more of an idiot.

Bank the $1000, and never use your saw without reminding yourself that
it is capable of causing you grievous bodily harm. Not everyone who
uses a table saw will lose a finger. But any woodworker who fails to
be vigilant might.

The real question: Right-tilt or left?


Even if you've got a SawStop, you must always be mindful of what the saw
will do. The blade may not as readily remove fingers (but it will hurt),
but it will happily throw a piece of wood at you at amazing speed.

This quote comes to mind:
"Never forget who you are. You are ninja. You must always practice the
art of invisibility." -- Splinter, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II
