Apologies for the confusing comment, what I was referring to was how to make a sled safer,
by way of restricting the travel of it.
I've not seen anyone make something with longevity in mind, so won't go a lookin.
Seems lots of folks here might not have watched Steve Latta's videos, on making ornamental bandings.
Though it might be somewhat agreeable folks probably wouldn't come across someone doing this in a "professional shop" too often, as most folks in the game generally scoff at the idea of spending time working on a machine.
The geddit done or buy something else today, kinda attitude, is generally how things roll from what I mostly see.
usually from the folks who have the space, as is very notable there's rarely any middle ground for those whom might be somewhere in-between.
The age old rule applies, If you don't feel like something is safe, then don't do it, simple as that,
You might find out why something ain't safe online, since there has been an average sixty five thousand reported cases annually in the US,
Checked again and it looks to be half that now, perhaps the Sawstop is responsible
if not by folks buying them, then it could be down to perceptions changing either,
i.e getting used to what a riving knife looks like, etc.
There's some interesting videos relating to TS safety from Gwinnett woodworkers on YT,
as well as another fella demonstrating machining small parts with jigs and whatnot.
Nothing too over the top for me when it comes to safety.
Having a wee Fisher Price welder knocking around might encourage shop logistics,
should one be in a tight spot.
Someone got bit whilst using a sled here some time ago, it might be in the first or second
"post a photo of the last thing you made" threads.
Just incase someone was having some sense of security regarding the use of these,
it might be insightful.
And what is it with folks scolding others for posting injuries?
That doesn't help matters, as we probably are at the stage now, where the majority of
online content producers are using Saw stops, and generally those who have that safety feature
generally use it or become somewhat reliant on the tech.
Hopefully not, that someone doesn't get seriously injured or worse, by some projectile,
as those who have'em tend to get a bit lax with many operations.
All the best
Tom
