I actually, um...may not have any of the guards on my table saw for months now.
How many fingers have you lost in that time?
I've never had any major injuries.
If you're careful you may never need the protection a seat belt provides. It's still foolish and risky to go without it. Table saw guards, etc. are the same.
Yeah absolutely. It has to come off occasionally because some things just won't fit with the guards. But leaving it off is stupid.
You do use a riving knife still though...right?
Yep, that's still on there. No reason to remove that.
