If you cut from outside in they shouldn't come after you. That problem

Actually, I'd never thought of cutting the opposite direction. It
makes sense, though it makes setup a rather clumbsy operation on a
RAS. A slider is even worse.

We talking about push instead of pull? If so, the work piece isn't being
held firmly by the fence. Instead, the blade is trying to pick up the front
edge; if it does, things could get nasty. Better to mitigate any tendency
of the blade to climb by using a blade with a low rake.


use a hold down clamp, or your hand. I'd never let a board float under
any circumstance.The blade only climbs on the way out, just like a
slider saw does.

I've always been more careful with my table saw as it too can lift and
throw wood under the right circumstances.

As far as I am concerned all power saws are dangerous, except a band
saw perhaps.
