    This is objectively incorrect, unfortunately. It’s an anecdotal study with an n of 1. Whenever they check the numbers on this, table saws are responsible for like 40% of power tool related accidents. They’ve recently done studies that also show experience and training also don’t correlate to less injuries, complacency negates that for enough time to get injured.

    The only thing that reduces injury are mechanical or physical additions to the devices.
