In my manual that goes out th the plans for the Outer Island, I suggest that a circular saw can be used mounted under a table. As you site, if done well, the blade is not even accessable and pushing wood into a saw is safer than holding a circular saw and traveling with it.

What is a table saw? A saw mounted unter a table. I usually suggest to drill holes in the circular saw plate for mounting which will not ruin the saw for furthr use. As you state , a small fence and a downward feather board covering the blade is a great insurance.

Lets face it. ther's a lot of strippers built by handy craftspeople who just don't own a bonified table saw. You can also hurt yourself using a $2000 table saw too!
