Holy cow, I went out of my way to give you the benefit of the doubt, which you omitted. I should've worded it better and for that, I apologize.
I figure the civility with which I've conducted this debate from the beginning would've warranted the same from you, when in fact I could've said from the very beginning that you're full of it... but didn't. :-)
For that I am supposed to be grateful? Or are you pretending to be sanctimonious?
You're a Glenn Beck fan, ain'tcha?
Smiley face. Lighten up.
The lengths people will go to keep from admitting they were wrong... and for such a trivial thing.
You ARE a Glen Beck fan!!! Kinda figured as much.
You see... I was NOT wrong. MY jointer grabs a board when I try to pull it backwards. Fact. Now YOU, who does not have that happen on YOUR jointer, is trying to tell ME that it doesn't happen on MY jointer. Which makes YOU full of shit...not me.
Are you getting this yet Big Guy?
Ahh, you got your little feelings hurt and now you're lashing out.
Let me use little words and short sentences so you can understand.
I never said it didn't happen with your jointer.
You said the following... "The porkchop shaped guard works as a cam and will stop a normal piece of wood from flying backwards." "If set up properly, the cam action will impede the movement backwards."
In the context of these two quotes, you were referring to jointers in general, not your own.
A bunch of guys report back that it doesn't work their jointers. More guys report they can't find reference anywhere of anti-kickback ever being mentioned as a purpose or benefit of the blade guard. You still claim you are not wrong, because it works on yours.
Who's full of it?
I'm the guy with the (sometimes) guardless jointer. What's that law about a discussion that devolves down to the point of "nazi" being uttered? Only this time, it's Glenn Beck! Tom

Come on now, there is a difference. Isn't there?
Whose jointer was I talking about? Obviously not yours. But, hey, bro'... if you want to stick to your assumptions, go for it. I'm done here.
Godwin's Law
I haven't watched his show, so I'm not sure. How do you feel about this Glenn Beck guy? Tom
An ex-drinker, aka a 'dry drunk' like George W Bush, and now will say anything to suck up to the redneck right-wing fundy lunatic Fox crowd. NOT that there is anything wrong with that. A guy has to make a living... no matter how.
I never heard of him, either, but when I did a google search and found this down at the bottom....

Well, I never installed the factory guard on my 3 HP cabinet saw... opted to put a Biesemeyer T-Splitter on instead and it is highly unusual for me to not have it in place while making through cuts (exceptions are using the sled or the tenon jig). The 1.5 HP contractor saw before that started with the factory guard but it was such a nasty item to work with I took it off and shortly there after replaced it with a T-Splitter... Having been whacked twice by kickbacks that occurred when I was tired and didn't have a splitter installed is enough to convince me that it should be there. I don't use the guards over the blade though as I think being able to see what I'm doing and being able to use a push stick on narrow pieces are pretty important issues.

lol :-)
That T-Splitter thing is kind of like keeping the guard, but just taking off the shield, right?
Since it's still guarding against half the potential danger, I'd say it's only half foolish. :-)
It's more like having a quick release riving knife with anti-kick back pawls that is convenient enough to use that it actually gets used... All that guard stuff that is cumbersome to remove and replace and/or interferes with push sticks is what ends up in the drawer or trash.

Quite a brouhaha in this high desert community east of Los Angeles.
A bank has put up a billboard in Spanish as part of a campaign to attract new customers.
The "Whitey" element is screaming that the billboard is "un-American".
(The over 50, gray at the temples and wearing a baseball hat with military markings crowd)
So what else is new?
The "Whitey" element of our population is feeling threatened by current events.
Many of the jobs they performed for generations have disappeared and will not return.
Non white immigrants are moving into once all white areas, taking the low wage jobs, operating the high risk businesses(Want the night shift at your local
7-11?), but more importantly, filling the seats of the classes of our colleges and universities.A man of mixed race is president.
How long will it be before mixed marriage invades the "Whitey" gene pool?
Will it ever end?
Face it, the "Whitey" portion of the population will no longer be a majority portion of the population in a few years and there is little they can do about it so when the bigots feed on their apprehensions, they tend to run in circles, scream and shout rather than try to adapt and move on, which is what we are seeing from the Republicans in Congress these days.

Oh yeah? Well chew on this one for a while:
Subj: Moving to Mexico
I can't stand it anymore, so I'm moving on if Obama can pull some strings for me. Hope they have some nice golf courses in Mexico
Dear Mr. President:
I'm planning to move my family and extended family into Mexico for my health, and I would like to ask you to assist me.
We're planning to simply walk across the border from the U.S. Into Mexico , and we'll need your help to make a few arrangements. We plan to skip all the legal stuff like visas, passports, immigration quotas and laws.
I'm sure they handle those things the same way you do here. So, would you mind telling your buddy, President Calderon, that I'm on my way over?
Please let him know that I will be expecting the following:
I know this is an easy request because you already do all these things for all his people who come to the U.S. From Mexico . I am sure that President Calderon won't mind returning the favor if you ask him nicely.
Thank you so much for your kind help. You're the man!!!

Okay, you repost a blow hard like Joe Hall which is fine, but it solves nothing and more to the point what is/are your suggestion(s) to address the problem?
