    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.

    Now thats a horror show
    Any thing with sharp teeth eats meat.
    Most powertools have sharp teeth.
    People are made of meat.
    Abrasives can be just as dangerous as a blade.....and 10 times more painfull.

    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 !

    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.

    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.
    Those were the droids I was looking for.

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

    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 ( 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 !
