Robin58,just like I said.You have to use common sense to use power tools.These guys having accidents with the RA saws are not using common sense and using the saws properly.Table saws and radial arm saws are two completely different pieces of equipment.In my woodshop each one is for a specific type of cutting.I use each one very carefully,and have for years.I have never seen a radial arm saw pull someones hand into the blade.In fact on your post is the first time I have even heard of such a thing.
