Learning Herb

Glenmore,, It got three fingers of my left hand, The 1st,2nd,& 3rd. And I am on blood thiners for my heart so it took the doc about 1/2 hr to control the bleeding. It was very messy.But all is well now .and as you might have gessed I'm a lot more safety minded,That is why I try to tell every one to be awake when working in the shop.Don' work when your tired. and if you have to stop and think of the cut you are going to make then 9 out of 10 times it shouldn't be done. Lets all work with with our minds awake. Learning Herb

It got three fingers of my left hand. and I'm on blood thiners so it took the doc about 1/2 hr. to control the bleeding. That why I always tell people to be awake when working in the shop. And if you have to stop and think if the cut is safe then 9 out of10 times the cut shouldn't be made.Lets all work with our mind fully awake. Learning Herb

It got me in three fingers of the left hand, And to make it worse I'm on blood thiners and it took the doc 1/2 hr. to control the bleeding, It has mad me a lot wiser and a h whole lot safer, Never go to the shop when your tired or rushed.And if you have to stop and think if a cut is safe or not, You can bet your last cent that It's not.

Yes it was. It got three fingers of the left hand .And to make it scareyer yet I take blood thiners and it took the doc a 1/2 hr. to controll the bleeding. But every thing is fine now healed up great and every thing still works. I was really lucky,That is why I talk safty so much, Like don't go near the shop if your tired or rushed. And by all means keep you brain awake. It don't take but a blink to get into trouble.

Herb, I'm glad you came out sort of on top that time. You had what you might call a near miss. You might have been OK if you had a saw with a "Saw Stop" on it. I've read about them, but I don't have one either. Keep safe.

I've learned that with table-saws, check to see where your blade height is at. If it's a bit too high, you will get a "kick-back". Also, never rush the cut.

Learning Herb

Yes I agree, I love my TS but you have to be awake and thinking about what you are doing.The TS is the center of your shop but it can cut you down to size in nothing flat, I had the blade all the way up for I was resawing, And it didn't take long like 1/1000 of a second.I have a great bandsaw now for resawing it's a lot safer.
