I have a table saw in my garage. It was my dad's that he gave to me when he moved. He bought it in the 70s. It's a fantastic saw - it cuts through pretty much anything. I grew up learning how to use a table saw with this exact piece of equipment. I never had a mishap, nor did my dad - that saw has never tasted human. I was taught to be careful with it, and respect the fact that humans are easier for it to dismember than a board. It sits in a corner collecting dust and reminding me of the fun times my pops and I built stuff together because I bought a saw-stop. Sure i could probably spend the next 2-3 decades safely using the old saw and never hurting myself - but why? I like my hands and fingers attached to my body - being careful will probably keep them in that state, but when I have stronger guarantees from the new gear, I'll use that instead - and recommend the same to others.
