This time you are wearing two rings at the table saw. Are you aware of how dangerous that is?

Great Job! This is …
Great Job! This is the first time I’ve seen a Wixie used in a video. I love mine and use it everywhere. Also, good call using acetone first but some may wonder why you do that.
I don’t see a problem with your sawing technique. The most important safety precaution you have taken (assuming you are wearing eye protection) is using a splitter in your saw plate. IMO as long as you know where your fingers are kickback is the greater danger.

Thank mag884. I appreciate you watching the video and commenting here. I love that little Wixey guage too. Such a great concept that really takes the guess work out of square up your tools.
I agee totally on the splitter. I wouldn’t use a saw without one!
Thanks again, John.

get yourself a riving knife for that tablesaw. I agree with comments below. Your luck’s running out. Lose your fingers and you’re out of a job and what about kickback?
