Hi ,
I am in the process of buying an anti kickback device called a Grip-tite. It is a block with a powerful magnet that has flexible"wings" sticking out of it. These wings are pressed lightly against the wood to be ripped on the tablesaw and the magnet holds the block itself securely to the fence or the table. Steel fence covers can be bought as a kit to provide the magnet.I was once a victim of kickback and although it caused no injury it really shook me up. If anyone likewise is a little cautious this could be just the thing. There is a website called Grip-Tite on the internet and they have a video of it working. It can also be used for just holding timber tight against a fence for instance in resawing.
