Well two reason to get a Saw-stop. First my index finger 2 years ago (Just the tip) and to day the left thumb tip gone right at the bone tip. I was pushing a 1" thick piece of oak 5" usable and 3" scrap. It jammed 1/2 thru and I was pushing the good piece with my right hand and the scrap with my left. The left gave way and my thumb went over the top and the tip did not make it. Yes I was not using a push stick Dumb, DUMB, Dumb, DUMB,Dumb, DUMB next time. I wonder if a Saw-stop would have triggered fast enough. Dumb, DUMB, Dumb, DUMB,Dumb, DUMB.
