"Board Mates"

If you are talking about board buddies, I use one on the end of the fence. I think it give me a little protections. I also have it adjusted so it pulls the board into the rip fence.

So is this what you are thinking ?? These are old pictures. I usually only use one at the back of the fence now...

Depending what i am cutting I will use one on the outfeed side of the blade.

I still use the factory provided plastic blade guard and pals when cutting larger sheets of plywood.

I also have a few other safety features for the table saw that are used contigent on the cut and the type of wood.

It is a bit of pain to make these changes, but I value my fingers.

Since I don't own a slider (yet) or a SawStop (maybe yet), these other safety devices are the next best thing.
