While you can use this for through cuts, it's not a good idea as you don't have the anti-kickback pawls that are on the upper saw guard.tomsalwasser wrote:It says "not for use with through cuts" but can you anyway? I would assume so.

[quote="JPG40504"]To say nothing of the blade being 'uncovered'!]
BUT the blade is uncovered any time you are set up to do a non-through cut EXCEPT for that very short period of time that you are actually making the cut.
Besides, if you are inclined to operate without the upper saw guard (and I believe many, many are), the blade is uncovered almost all the time.

And then there are those who ain't had a blade guard for almost half a century in the first place(they were an extra cost accessory then) and obviously no riving knife either.
Tis quite possible to survive survive without them. Gotta watch what you are doing ALL the time however!
Not recommended for post boomer generations though!:rolleyes:

Rememberable Kickbacks
The two kickbacks, that I remember, were when I cut grooves in 18 x 21 x 3/4 plywood. One happened when I was reaching for the switch to shut power OFF.
So I will be ordering, to have some safety device to prevent or reinforce safe practices when can't use the blade guard.
