Band saw is a good tool, I just could not get a good cut with mine. The saw blade would bend just a little when I started the cut and I would end up with surfaces that didn't mate perfectly. I could have probably gotten mine to work but I didn't want to be constantly changing blades, and fiddling with the saw so I just went back to the tables saw. All I have to do is put the scarf jig in place, adjust the blade height and I am good to go.

If you can get the bandsaw to work and give you a good mating surface it is by far safe than the table saw. I have a scars to prove it.
