 Free Splitter for the Table Saw plans - I have always maintained that the best safety feature for my various woodworking tools is not my ear protectors, or my safety goggles. Rather it is my head -- as in the proper use of my head. Be careful, think about what your doing, don't work when tired, think about what will happen if you or the tool slip, and the like. I've been around power tools since I was a kid, as my father was a carpenter. I was raised to be careful and cautious. And yes, I always use hearing protection, and safety goggles. Nevertheless, Over the previous few months I'd become convinced of the need to have a splitter on my table saw. A recent article in a fall 2001 issue of Fine Woodworking, and others like it, has helped with that decision. My previous saw had no guard or splitter on it, nor any way to add one to it. As I was shopping around for a new saw, I could see that every new saw was (of course) equipped with a splitter and guard, which also caused me to think about the subject. I still have all ten fingers, and I want to keep it that way.
