In Response To: Shop: Table Saw Safety Modifications (Shawn Baker)

: I have an old Craftsman table saw with the really nice, heavy cast iron
: table.

Hi Shawn, hang onto it. I've got a new table saw (a fairly cheap one) and it's just not the same as working with a big, heavy duty model. It's light so it can move around if I'm not careful. You have more experience than I do but I doubt your table saw has limitations you coudn't overcome with the right workaround.

My idea of safety is a blade, a fence and nothing else. That way you can see exactly where the danger is. People get hurt when the blade is concealed; that's why there are so many accidents on jointers. I like to keep it as straight forward as possible.

Hey, if you do get a new one then, can I have your old one :D
