I have all my fingers and do not use table saw safety equipment on my saw. I know that I should but after 40 + years of not using them, I feel it hinders me more than helps me. I like to see, feel and hear the blade when I am cutting. The hearing part is not so good any more! Some of you old timers might know what I mean by feeling and hearing the the blade. This might sound stupid and more stupid that I do not use safety equipment on the saw. The guards and splitters on the new industrial saws are outstanding and I highly recommend that you use them. This is one of those, Do as I say, Not as I do!

God Bless
