the table saw is the most dangerous of them all.... they dont' give ya a second chance.

I thought you would want the blade a bit higher to minimize "kick backs". The angle of force of the circular blade onto the wood is almost directly at the user if the blade is "just above" the work piece. Too high and you can get "kick overs".

@jerryiscountry185 doesnt really matter. have the big bit on the fence for more control

@j0hnyTV T-squares are not for ripping wood, rip fences are. If someone thinks a fence is not needed, they clearly are ignorant as to how to use a tablesaw.
