I get that, but I think it honestly depends on what you're cutting. Additionally I'll argue to the bank that there is no great dangerous tool than the router, period. The router is just a monster dangerous tool.
I am going to come off as rude here but I don't know any way to phrase it without being rude...you've got no clue what you are talking about. The router can be made safe via processes & procedures. The table saw cannot...period.
Okay lol. I responded to your other post too but that's cool, I'm not a contractor or a wood worker by trade, so you're right, I'm not a pro at this. I do however like to think I know a bit about geometry and yeah, it depends on what you're cutting. My good old table saw has a blade at a fixed angle. With my hand twelve inches away on the side of a piece of MDF, it's quite difficult for the table saw blade to "pull" my hand a foot towards it. Especially with the guard on. I'm not saying it won't happen, but I am saying that angle wise, momentum wise, I'd have to really be careless for it to happen.
If you still think I'm at idiot that's fine. My "limited" experience has proven to me that it's far easier to be careless and get hurt by a router than to be careless and get hurt by a table saw. Either way if you're careless in generally and don't take your time, you're bound to have issues.
Additionally, processes and procedures can make anything safe. Take those away and you're back to square one on everything.
