Cool Tools To Giveaway for a Blog Review

Hi Gene,

So sorry to hear that, I too have had some close calls with it. The tool looks innocently safe, but that blade path of motion along with any object caught, really knows how to draw fingers in or throw things back at you.

I've been eyeing up purchasing a small band saw, especially for small pieces where hands are just too close to the table saw blade : (

Thanks!!!!!!

So sorry to hear that Gene, hopefully everything was ok, thank you both for you thoughtfullness, and I completely agree, it really goes and pulls in material sometimes or throws shards, that's the reason why I got some protective eyewear.

I always try keeping my hand as far as way as I can while still keeping the cut precise, but those things on the right of the saw are an old handle from a broken hammer, and scrap piece of copper heat tubing, which I use as prodding tools! I try to keep myself as protected as I can, a person can get injured by pretty much any tool (I know a lot of cases where people got injured with shards from a hammer!), specially something like this. Once again thanks for your thoughtfulness!

Thanks guys. That last accident I was not so lucky.  I lost the outermost digit of my left ring finger.  The surgeon actually wanted to remove the outermost digit of both the center and ring finger, but I argued to give the center one a chance.  My solution to woodworking was a better saw:

I saw an add in Popular Science for this while I was waiting in the ER that day (a day late and a finger short?).

That's also good advice - the old saws don't always have the same level of safety on them that the new ones do. Mine is getting older, but new enough to have an anti-kickback guide/safety cover on it. Which has come into good use several times during its lifetime already.

Whenever possible, my solution is to have Home Depot cut up my plywood with their fancy state-of-the-art wall mounted saw. It saves me having to wrangle full sheets through my own table saw, but also helps everything fit easily into the car to get it home!
