Maybe it’s just me, but I cringe when I see the Woodcraft ad showing a tablesaw in action. An approximate 3/4 inch piece is being crosscut with no blade guard and with the blade adjusted to maximum height. Scary! OK, I don’t usually use the guard either, but I do adjust the blade height to just above the thickness of the stock being cut. And I do feel a lot safer when I do use the guard. Didn’t they have an actual woodworker available when they shot the ad? But I guess the level of realism is consistent with the ad where a knife is shown being used to cut the Woodcraft logo, but it isn’t really cutting anything. I guess I should allow them some slack, however, for sponsoring these woodworking shows on PBS. Thanks, Woodcraft. -- JohnnyB - - Sometimes determination can substitute for skill. |
