I Work at a mid quality cabinet shop that employs 250. Employees come and go. New hires really have little or no experience, ESPECIALLY with shop tools.
Just today I watched one of these uneducated people cutting a piece set at 3/4" on the tablesaw. I watched him grab the miter gauge and use it as a push stick, on a SawStop no less! I started to stop him but he already finished.
I lost count of how many times they had to replace the safety brake and blade on those saws.
It's amazing that in a professional shop that there isn't a big focus on safety or tool ettiquite, especialy with new or the inexperienced. Seems like they're more concerned with $$$$.
