Those push sticks that do not hold the work down scare the hell out
of me. They keep your hands away from the blade but do nothing to
keep the work from being lifted and thrown back at you.

The closest I've ever been to a major accident on my table saw was
caused by that style of push stick. It was homemade, but the same
concept...


Yeah, I had one like that, too. I think Delta used to supply
a drawing for that style stick in their manuals (cut it out of
the manual, glue to a piece of plywood, cut plywood to make
stick). I never felt comfortable with it.
