Guards when cutting angles??

I set up my SS to cut a 45-degree bevel last night and noticed rather quickly that I could not use the upper saw guard.

Having that much blade exposed scares the living daylights out of me...

I like my fingers, having had them for 40 years now, and don't want to lose them.

Is there no guard setup for that kind of cut?

You are very welcome. I see your name is teamtj...is this in reference to Tommy "TJ" Sotomayor? Probably not...a lot of TJ's in the world

Darn it. Using your name-generation process, and going strictly in birth order, I could have had "DR BAD" for my forum handle!
