TS Safety Question

Furnished content.
(from WoodNet.net)


I have a LT table saw, and was cutting some 45 deg miters for the sides of a box.

I did the cuts with my miter gauge with a longer (sacrificial)auxiliary fence and a stop block. So the piece was trapped between the tilted blade and the stop block.

The pieces were 8" to 14" long, so my fleshy bits were far from the blade.

Everything went smoothly, and the miters were the best I ever cut, but I had a nagging feelingI was doing something dumb, kickback-wise.

Was I? Should I have rearranged the cut by using the miter gauge on the right side of the blade, and the blade tilted away from the "keeper" part of my workpiece?
