Just in case you need a reminder...

Ben glad you are safe. it’s something like that, that brings safety back into the front of our minds each time we use the tools.

Guess you need some new windows. Glad that’s all. Thanks for the reminder.

I’ve always thought it was a conspiracy of some sorts that table saws just happen to be at crotch level. Probably brought to us by the same guy that invented that BAR on boys bicycles. hehe

Another classic DOH! moment. I’m glad you dodged the spear and thanks for the reminder. God knows I need all the reminders I can get.

-- I've cut that board three times and it's still too short!

It’s a mixed blessing that my tablesaw is “underpowered”... but I’m glad to see everyone was OK. Also a reminder to everyone to keep spectators from standing along the path of any saw, guard or no guard! They may get more than a good view!

Wow!

From what the 2x did to the windows, I am glad no one was standing between the door and the table saw.

Thanks for the safety reminder

Dang…I bet that got the adrenaline pumping! I have had a few near misses in the kickback department, and it is a sobering experiance! Good thing it missed you.

Man, that’ll make you change your drawers! Glad you’re OK. My son Tommy got hit with a little (12” x 14” x 1/2”) kickback last year and it left quite a bruise- can’t imagine what might have happened to you if that spear had struck you.

Safety first- Safety always.

Yes, been there done that one.

The hole in the vinyl siding is still there as a reminder to me.

Glad you’re OK too.

OK…We have the trajectory and other factors established. Now all we have to do is wait for that salesman to call.

*Glad you weren’t hurt!

-- Bob Vila would be so proud of you!

Projectiles a-plenty. I was using a Belsaw molder-planer doing shoe moldings using a cuter that did 4 at a time. The guides were properly adjusted for the board width for the four-up cutters. All was going great. I fed about 15 eight foot boards and then got to the last board. It was only wide enough to do three. I fed it in thinking I’d get another 3 moldings. You guesed it – I didn’t reset the guides. The board exploded, throwing spears. One hit and dented the garage door. One hit me in the belly. Several hit my arm. One spear about 5 inches long went half way through my right nipple!. After a few hastily chosen words I decided to go to the E.R. No permanent damage done – not even to my ego. I have to remember to keep thinking and not rushing.

Hmmmmmm. I think I’ll take out collision insurance on my garage.

Glad you did the side-step.

I am beginning to think that maybe the earlier guys had the right idea using hand tools – never heard of a kickback from a hand saw – wish they didn’t involve so much hard work to finish the work. Glad to hear you weren’t hurt – physically.

Glad that only pride was hurt.
