<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial> I'm not usually the poster child for shop
safety but since I still have all my digits --knock on MDF-- I'll chime in on

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial> Aside from the setup, That watch
seems to have something hanging from the clasp. Maybe it's an illusion ,but
jewelry and long sleeves are best avoided around the table saw. I'm sure
I've violated this rule myself , but it's worth mentioning.</FONT></DIV>

Nice solution in any case to your problem,</FONT></DIV>
