Everyone should be deathly afraid of table saws. I own two, use them frequently for some high precision woodworking tasks and they scare me to death.
Remember the old wood shop safety films?
I never cared for the band saw. t even looked monstrous!
I have great respect for power tools and have used many, many different kinds. I have double or triple respect for table saws.
More fearsome than the table saw is the radial arm saw...
In college, I had a work/study job in the drama department. It was my introduction to power tools, and the table saw was frequently involved. Looking back now, I am amazed that we were allowed to use it at all. There was never an accident in my time, but I’m sure access to the power tools is far more restricted now.
