Is this correct for the updated blade guard on a radial arm saw?
The carriage doesn’t go back far enough for the blade guard to fall down behind the fence. I thought the guard was supposed to keep the carriage in the home position until the user lifts it with the lever on the handle. I’m wondering if I did something wrong. Any RAS users know what I’m talking about?
The direction the blade spins means it can jump towards you if it binds. Like any tool, it’s safe when you use it right, but a moment of inattention could be messy. Mainly I find the ripping set up terrifying.
Agreed on the ripping setup .
