I actually, um...may not have any of the guards on my table saw for months now.

How many fingers have you lost in that time?

[-] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

I've never had any major injuries.

If you're careful you may never need the protection a seat belt provides. It's still foolish and risky to go without it. Table saw guards, etc. are the same.

[-] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

Yeah absolutely. It has to come off occasionally because some things just won't fit with the guards. But leaving it off is stupid.

[-] NOPper@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

You do use a riving knife still though...right?

[-] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Yep, that's still on there. No reason to remove that.
