A safety system for powered cutting tools includes a miter saw safety device. Embodiments of the miter saw safety device may be positioned on one or both sides of the rotating saw blade and include a pivotable support arm and a support plate that is repositionable relative to the support arm. In some embodiments the support plate is biased toward the guide fence of the miter saw. The device enhances the capabilities of miter saw to make precise cuts safer, faster and easier.

A safety system with a number of component devices that may be used alone or in combination to substantially reduce the risk of injury to the operator of the power cutting tool. The devices are designed for use with table saws, miter saws, jointers, routers, shapers and similar equipment. The devices secure a work piece against unanticipated movement and kickback while simultaneously protecting the operator's hands. The devices further enhance the capabilities of power equipment to make precise cuts safer, faster and easier. One such device includes a guide member for engaging a work piece and an adjustable alignment member for orienting the position of the guide member relative to a cutting blade.
