Safe Height For Table Saw Blade Above Material
What is the recommended safe height for the saw blade to protrude above the material being cut? I say the blade should be no more than 1/8" above the material to minimize damage should you make conatct with the blade. 1/8" in most cases would be a minimal flesh wound likely not requiring medical attention. I have carpenters who make various arguements for have more blade protruding such as; It cuts easier with more blade, It makes a cleaner better cut and of course I have been doing this for X number of years it wont happen to me. Help please.
