It would be nice if Mr Mehler (and others) would realise that the push blocks he proffers can put you in a position of having a hand next to the blade (as well as leaning over the blade) whilst the long push sticks we teach people to use here in the EU are much, much safer. Also note the (unsafe) long rip fence technique which can lead to pinching, binding and sometimes kickback. I'm beginning to wonder if Americans ever learn (and if Sarge is reading this, I know he's safe :wink: )
