Shitty spot for a table saw

I left the spots of dried blood on the floor in front of my saw to remind me of my kick-back experience. I now use properly shaped sticks similar in design to yours. They're great, but the best safety tool of all is awareness and good technique.

macduff's direction on safety is some what different in that he uses the stationary fence of the OJJ, from the fence is the mac-slide and mac-clamps, finger saver-push stick with the hands being high above the blade or cutting tool, most of macduff's safety devices are automatic in operation, placed up-front and suspended from a safety rod on a bracket from the stationary fence. have a garder at seumas2 and come to your own conclusion on safety

good ideas ,similar to what i did ,people might try to add some forstner bit drilled half holes too one side which will prevent stray fingers from hanging out where they could get caught by a blade -works very well for jointer pushes
