<p>I picked one up last year at the Woodworking Show at the State Fairgrounds here and I've been very happy with mine. It has certainly given me piece-of-mind on the safety issue and allowed me to do some work I wouldn't have tried before, such as ripping some very narrow strips of wood.</p>

<p>I've had one for a couple of years and have mixed feelings about it. First problem is they cannot be used with a blade guard or riving knife because they go completely over the blade. Your saw must be set up for non through cuts. Works pretty well on narrow pieces but I found I prefer cutting thin strips by doing the thickness reference on the left side of the blade instead of off the fence.

<p>Kenny I have two however hardly use two as I can run 8 ft through without too much trouble. If I was to run anything longer I would definately use two. If I was running alot of long 6 to 8 foot in a qunaity I use both.</p>
