I have worked accident free for very many years now and truly believe that there many things more important than guards etc. (like common sense).
Having said that this barrage of warnings is excellent and fits with my common statement "Education, not legislation"... The whole industry can do a lot if they stay on it. Occasionally doing something stupid now and then is just part of the human condition and none of us is really exempt.
I have always tried to be open to change and I constantly try to keep looking at everything I do with a critical eye to determine if changes in practice are needed.
For a lot of years I kept saying that the most dangerous thing on most table saws was the guard and for most of those years I still think that was a true statement. Most of those old guards were awful. They blocked your view of what you were doing and on most of them there was so much slop that just keeping the guard from contacting the blade was quite difficult. Those old guards were usually much better at covering some manufacturers butt than safely covering a spinning blade.
The times are now changing... My 510 guard is not too bad and I don't mind using it where appropriate. The guard on my Ridged TS 3650 is even better. I do use it more than I ever used to use one. On the other hand the guard on my very old Craftsman tablesaw that I built into a big table was awful... I finally took it apart so I could use the splitter and anti-kick-back pawls by themselves. The blade cover itself just lays on the shelf underneath. It has numerous marks on the inside of it where it wandered over against the blade. I have been looking at some of the new guards that float from above on a long arm mounted over on the back right corner and will probably be getting one for my TS-3650. I especially like the ones that have a hollow arm that has built in dust collection and a guard that is a couple of inches wide.
I am trying to approach things more carefully now than I once did. While I am still in good shape (more accurately, getting back in good shape after a bad time) I do still have some noticeable loss of function from aging. For one thing it seems that every time I use a hand power tool somehow the cord crawls under my feet and sometimes refuses to come out without a fight.
I also notice some vision slippage and maybe a little slower reaction time. I won't even delve into memory problems.
I am much quicker these days to double check things that I used to just do. I also am looking at after-market splitters and some other stuff. I also look more at clearing floor areas etc. (see power tool cords above).
