The dust blows the other direction. You are not moving the hand towards a blade. The guard covers the blade. It has an electric brake. The tail arcing jig allows you to cut the same length tail no matter what the bore distance. This is the best cut I have seen on a hammer. 12inch Irwin Marathon carbide 72 tooth blade. Can be set so mouldings are true and square. Easier to keep the tip width the same. You can watch through the guard without crap flying in your face.
