Yes they are indeed a safe saw.I updated to a Delta Unisaw a couple of yrs.ago.The Saw Stop was out of my price range.The Unisaw was expensive,but only about 1/2 of what a Saw Stop would cost.I am very careful when using any of my power woodworking tools.Hey,Coach Frank,I looked at a 50 yr.old Unisaw a couple of yrs.ago,would have bought it for the right price,but I was not going to get involved in a bidding war.That 20 yr.old saw you have is still a very desirable saw.
