I'm curious about people's practices with a table saw crosscut sled and how often they use a hold down when making cuts with one.
In general, mine gets used for anything thin or where my fingers would somehow need to be near the blade, but generally not for larger boards. I also cannot imagine using a hold down when needing to do lots of repetitive cuts, for example. I'm wondering how many people are in the never and always camps and for those in the middle what other considerations you have.
Not looking to start a religious war or judge anyone, but rather considering my own risk assessment.
