I use it on just about every project. Either way, there really is no better time than now to think about how one might survive in a post-tablesaw world. Curious about how dangerous a kickback can be? Watch this! Or perhaps you are a “Don’t tread on me!” type and you’d rather go without a tablesaw than to use one with new government-mandated safety features. ![]() After all, even SawStop can’t stop what seems to be the most common tablesaw injury: the kickback.

Now that our government is very close to forcing manufacturers to implement a new safety device, you can’t help but think about what life would be like without the tablesaw.
