If you take into account my latest postings, I guess I've got to pass on the answer. The bandage on my right hand is evidence enough.
Do You Use Your Blade Guard

I always use the guard when possible, because it was the only way to use the riving knife and pawls (I actually like the pawls). I don't know why it took so long, but I just now ordered a Shark Guard so I can use the riving knife all the time.Comment

Guard would be good..
I have a guard that came with the saw when I bought the BT3K. I wanted to experiment making a Shark Guard and with Lee's permission I wanted to start that journey. I have the reconfigured riving knife on the saw with the RK just a tad below the height of the saw blade. The original guard is on my other BT3K which I need to adopt to make dado cuts but am waiting for the shims which are on order for over a month now.
However, I do not do any cuts without the push shoe or without control of the wood. Maybe I need to move the guard back to the current saw. Any advice on this will be appreciated.Comment

That post of mine turned out to be a lie
Moral of the story, I didn't keep my frigging hand away from the spinning blade.

I think the moral is clear. If you don't use a blade guard, you are much more likely to die of a tablesaw injury than this thread has of dying of any cause. Ever.

Eh, let it die of natural causes... I have been fishing around the truck forums looking for examples of shop built hidden winch mounts (hey, the lumber wagon needs to drag itself out of the muck every now and then!), and have been reviving LONG dead threads from members I know are still active... I am talking about posts made in 2000 brought back to life... I have gotten some very useful information by doing that.... I WILL be posting my completed project on the truck forums since it is a project with my truck, I may actually post it here if folks show interest. Probably the most likely to be interested would be Pappy... He's a Texas truck kind of guy....Please like and subscribe to my YouTube channel.
