I hate using table saws, it has turned into the kind of tool that I use when NOTHING else will do the job, even if the table saw is the fastest/best tool for the job. I've never had the saw throw anything (though it tried), but I used to use a saw blade that was pretty thick and it tended to cause a lot of kick back and it would either try to force it back at me or try to shove my fingers into the blade. :eek: Enough of those close calls will send you away from a table saw. I probably would be more comfortable if I were using a Sawstop, not so sure about the quality on those though, but safety can't be matched.
Hilarious descriptions, Love the damnit tool, and yes that is my most commonly used tool. I lost my 1/4" HF ratchet that way. :fs1:
