At least it was a fine cut blade, because after the 8 stitches came out there's barely a scar.

It definitely hurt my pride more than anything, that was over 6 years ago and I still hear about it at work.
Yup, same here Doug. I smacked my hand on the tablesaw blade sticking up. Cut it half way around and to the bone. I hit it so hard that I had carbide chips in the cut. Ever since then I keep the blade below the table when the saw isn't in use!
