Intuitively, the table saw seems more dangerous to me (and I'm typing this with a finger with three pins in it from a table saw injury) because you're manipulating the circular saw directly, and thus more consciously. With a table saw you're manipulating the workpiece into the blade, which is indirectly a threat--in my case, the wood kicked, knocking my finger into the blade.

- fatbird 3y agoIt wasn't the push stick hand (that was actually holding a push stick). It was the hand that was standing in for the feather board I should have had.
- quickthrowman 3y agoWow, it’s crazy that the wood kicking caused your finger to release its grip on the push stick and get hit by the blade.
- fatbird 3y agoWhat's crazier is that my grip on the push stick never wavered, and still managed to knock my other hand into the blade!
