How is the EZ safer (than a table saw, or router table)?
Quoted from Core77: ‘There is no fence for the wood to bind against; the clamps press the wood securely against the extrusion. “This is the ‘dead wood,’ concept,” Dino explains. “Wood is ‘alive’ inside, and depending on how you cut it, there can be forces inside which cause the wood to react. If you bind the blade, or if the material is improperly supported, the wood can be thrown back at you at very high speed, causing a nasty injury.’ ‘…table saws are dangerous. I’m sure there are many professionals out there who’ve used them for years without a single accident; but I am not a professional, and I also don’t like the nature of table saw accidents, whatever their actual percentage of likelihood. It seems there are no minor “fender-bender” type accidents with a table saw–you’re either completely fine or in serious trouble. “Think about the table saw,” Dino says. “You’re pushing wood into a rotating blade. It’s kind of crazy if you think about it.
