Here is some improvements to the scarf jig I posted a while back. While I am still don't trust this one and a kickback of the cutoff is still a possibility, I feel much better about this design.

Your standing to the left of the blade. Both hands are out of line with the blade. The switch on my saw is awkward to reach but but that's something I can live it.

I did have a wedge cutoff get pulled down by the blade into my zero clearance throat. I thought about going spread eagle on the floor after what happened. :) But of course it was to late and I quickly got my wits about me.

BTW the thumb is healing nicely. I can use it again on a limited capacity. Still looks like hell but I can see it is healing and I will have full use of it. Looks like it's going to have some spots that have no feeling though.
