Although the focus of this forum is dust I was referring to fleshy bits getting sliced and diced. Maybe I misunderstood but I thought you were advocating not having the blade guarded at times because you couldn't see where the blade was cutting. You also like, opposite of me, Grippers. They put the hand too close to the blade and if caught in the blade can kickback so fast they flip as they go back taking the hand into the blade. If I'm wrong I apologize and sit corrected.
