For those who don't possess a safe mindset, the woodshop will always remain a dangerous place, replete with finger-eating machines like the spindle shaper, jointer, or portable circular saw. If the table saw doesn't getcha, something else will. What's wrong with simply using the table saw in a safe manner? Stupidity has no place in the woodshop, and Darwinist in me suggests that the stupid or careless woodworker will eventually become extinct anyway, rendering this device obsolete.

Hey, what about the Porter-Cable Saw Boss? It's a small (6-inch), lightweight sidewinder with the blade on the LEFT instead of the right. Though I'm I die-hard worm saw fan aand always use gravity to my advantage as the article describes, the Saw Boss has become my favorite portable circular saw since I began using it two decades ago. The 6-inch blades, however, are pricey and hard to find. And, yes, I'm a righty and, yes, I'm from the East Coast!
