Don't worry Niki - I'm sure you've noticed that a lot of my posts are like that As far as keeping a thread running it's like the 'kiss of death' when I post something :lol:
Just take comfort from knowing you've said something that is so undeniably true that there can be no answer :lol: :lol: :lol:

I agree - that safe working practices should be paramount in woodworkers minds.
BUT
Accidents do happen. Irrespective of how safe one might normally work, we are all fallable and a split second lapse of concentration can be nasty. Surely it wouldn't hurt to have just another added protection to what is, after all, a highly dangerous machine?
I bet people were making these kinds of arguments when the riving knife and guard were first introduced!
