Reminder to be VERY CAREFUL. . .

Jedo

Darn figers, getting in the way of the blade . . .

Seriously, that's the fear of every woodworker to have that happen to them. Bothers my stomach just thinking about it.

Magic words to live by...
"I was tired."

Now thats a horror show:oo: :no:

my cousin freaked out when i showed her the pics:U :o :D

it takes no time at all to make a simple cheap tool to use for guiding wood through the blade a stick of wood something like 50mm x 19mm and about 350mm long ....with a V cut in the end for grip .....WOULD SAVE FINGERS FOR SURE... and rule number one when using cutting equipment .....do it wide awake ...or not at all !

Ouch!

Didn't even look at the picture link........now you know why I hold my breath every time I turn on a machine.

Sheeeyytte :oo::oo::oo:

Another "botty winking" reminder of what can happen!

As an aside, I wonder what the injury stats are for CSMs V's TS V's portable CS in terms of injuries per number of machines out there. I don't have a lot of experience with CSMs but it seems to me that moving a blade around might be slightly more dangerous than knowing a blade is fixed and where it is in space?

Whatever the case it's another reminder about being careful with machinery. I reckon reading the WWW Safety forum is a very useful contributor to continually raising my safety awareness.

Me either....got the idea from reading the article, don't need to traumatise myself this early.

A bit gory but an exceptional job of re-attaching the fingers.
I'd be interested to see how well it worked and if he recovered full use of the hand.

All i can say is it must have been a chiwanese blade to make a cut that rough....:C

Blood, bone and gore!!!

Sharp spinning things and flesh is always going to end in tears. You think there is going to be a garage sale at this blokes place?

I can just see the advert now,

............ slightly used mitre saw good to the bone!

Well, your very simple words are going to be quoted in my next "safety" lesson with my students. Thanks for sharing them. They're a bit young to see "those" pictures :C ( gulp ), and I'm sure there are enough stories going around their companies to have the necessary effect.
Hey, this is my first ever post here ! :B
