Just to confirm, do you have this saw or this one? Cause the second one I don't think has a rack and pinion.
Store nearby me was discontinuing stock for Skilsaw, lucky me. I picked up a 10" worm drive table saw for $250. This one here. It was the display model, but hasn't been used. Still in perfect condition and came with a diablo blade.
Tablesaws scare me, so I want to ensure I'm doing everything right. I'm buying 2x grippers today. I'll also be keeping the riving knife, guards, and anti kickback pawls attached whenever possible.
Given all of my parameters above, will I be on the safer side of things? I've watched some videos about kickback, and it seems most come through either ripping a board that isn't supported and twists into the back of the blade, or crosscutting a board without a starter block and the board getting pinched against the fence/blade.
