A contoured rake face cutting tool and method of making is disclosed. A rotary cutting tool with a plurality of teeth can cause damage to a work piece during cutting. By orienting the cutting angle of the teeth relative to the rotational central axis to high shear angle such as 50 or 70 degrees, the tool creates a high compression cut which is cleaner and less damaging to the work piece. The cutting surface itself is profiled, i.e. non-planar, such as concave or convex or other non planar shape, which is preferably formed into an ultra-hard material which is supplied for use in a planar form.

A table saw safety device is disclosed, which mounts from above, enhancing safety when using dado blades. The table saw safety device comprises an arm component that supports a pair of large anti-kickback components positioned above the blade, allowing workpieces to be safely maneuvered over the dado blade while maintaining high clearance. This setup not only facilitates safe completion of cuts but also ensures the user remains clear of the operational zone. The arm component attaches securely to the table saw's side and is compatible with both existing saws and new installations. The device is also comprised of an adjustable riving knife integrated into the throat plate, a clear guard with adjustable width, and a flexible boom accommodating different table sizes.
