SAW SLED QUESTION

snip kickbacks suck, snip
I'm sure they do, but I've never had one. True. Anyway, the
present sled is topped by two 2X4 chunks, so even if there was a
kickback with that one, It'd pretty well have to destroy the sled before
it could ever get to me - and I doubt that would happen. I purposly
made it that way. I'm not totally sure what the bridge (or whatever
it's called) on the next sled will be like, but it's gong to be as
strong for sure. The first one also has some blocking pieces on the
user fence, so the only way to grab it and push will not allow fingers
anywhere near the blade. I'm a great believer in keeping away from the
whirly parts while they're whirling. You'd have to work at it to get
cut with the blade while it's turning. I do NOT want to get hurt
because I get distracted by something, or star thinging of something
else while cutting,; this way if I lose concentration, I should be safe
anyway..
