I did a lot of cutting on my table saw and band saw today.Felt real confident too.I even wore the wrong glasses and nicked my thumb on the table saw because i could not see the blade .First time for everything ,but feeling no pain and bleeding not bad but drops here and there on the project i switched to the band saw.No covers over the wheels that hold the blade as they come off now and then . cut so many things all with my fingers millimeters from the unforgiving blade.Well i was in a hurry and needed to slow the blade to a stop and used my finger on the side of the 1/2" blade to slow it down.What was i thinking.No accident here but it was sure waiting to happen.kevin kevin kevin,yes i did say that !
