Am I related to the SawStop business or its parent company (which also owns Festool) in anyway (if that's your follow-up question)? None whatsoever, other than being one of its happy customers.

Yes, that was my next question.

Anyone remember the Ryobi BT3000 benchtop saw on a stand? Thing might weigh all of 50 pounds and the footprint is about 30" by 30".
I have oak ply desks/bookcases I made by cutting 4' by 8' sheets to size with that saw and a couple of roller stands---with the saw/stands on the lawn. By myself, no helper.
It is much safer than it sounds. The saw did not have enough power to kick back with full or half sheets. The few times I did have a problem was handled with no issue other than a gouge in the ply.
Would I do that with a cabinet saw? Oh HE__ NO!
Have I done it with my Rigid 2424 contractor saw?
Have I ever been hurt?
My point is this. Safety is relative. I have been injured more seriously with hand tools than power tools.

All serious woodworking injuries whether due to use of power tools or due to use of hand tools are no fun. Shop safety should be observed no matter what type of woodworker you are...is my point.
Edit: In my younger (and to-be-tamed) days, I had driven without putting on any seat belt. Would I try that now? Oh. He__ No!

There is another shop safety thread going on elsewhere...almost 70 responses and over 1,600 views recorded. Never a boring topic to woodworkers!
