We are a team of high school students, and we are conducting a survey about various table saw safety systems. If you wouldn’t mind taking a couple minutes to fill in a short survey, we would really appreciate it. Clicking the link will take you directly to the survey. Thanks!

survey flaws
The survey fails to ask how long the saw has been in service (many non-professionals use their equipment only occasionally, so the hours/week can be misleading).
The last question (about buying a new guard device) should have a "Perhaps" option. (Actual purchases are likely to be based on design, quality of manufacture, and price.)
Safety systems
Ralph,
We are requested to respond to table saw safety systems but the questionaire deals only with blade guards, not splitters or riving knives or dust collection and it seems to be biased toward flesh sensing as opposed to physical barriers around the blade. No mention of magnetic switches to prevent restart after power failure. The survey needs some work but then ,again, these aren't professional surveyers.

"The survey needs some work but then ,again, these aren't professional surveyers."
True. But, the OP's choice of user name makes me wonder if it is really a "student" project.
Personally, I'm still waiting for a bagel-slicing knife with flesh sensing technology, since those accidents are far more frequent than table-saw accidents. ;-)

Ralph,
Googled the subject and found that this survey is on a number of woodworking forums. Haven't found who the term represents.

Bagel Guillotine
Now, that's a, uh, "revolutionary" approach. ;-)
I assume one is supposed to wear a black hood when executing bagels in this manner?
Cutting bagles
Too much moisture content ;-) in a bagle for a SawStop.
Definately a band saw /resaw fence job and holding the bagle with a large handscrew. ;-)
re: Cutting bagles
What TPI do you recommend, Bruce? ;-)
