"I would want to be able to take the guard off once in a while. If it was attached, it might be more work. But if you never take the guard off, then no problem. I like the idea of no cords on the floor."
Yes. That's the hitch with the permanent overhead guard system, and my saw will have the 30" or so rip capacity, limiting the space to the right of the blade a lot. Having the ability to take off the guard or, better yet, having a guard that suspends from the ceiling (and lifts out of the way), would be idea. But that seems to be a talk ask. Wires cominng down from above creates the same obstacle. MIne is a "hobbyist" shop, so to speak, not a professional operation.?
