Go get it looked at! Why take a chance.

ProfessorM 12-01-2008 12:24 PM

Sorry K. Sometimes the longer you use tools the better chance you have of getting hurt. Complacence sets in and safety is an after thought. I know I do it all the time. Sometimes after a near miss, usually once a week, I tell myself I am a stupid SOB. I got all my digits but they are god awful ugly looking fingers. If I had a dollar for every scar I'd be very rich. Good luck with your recovery.

Channell99 12-01-2008 07:11 PM

I can feel that in my finger right now. That must have killed!!

told ya,
Glad you went. I have twice cut into my thumb bone no looking at what I was doing on a bandsaw.

that saw is sawstop and I've seen it on the web for 1599.99

Pizzah, I can build alot of push sticks and featherboards for that price.

Rockfish9 :wave:
------------------------------------------------------
Karl ...i'm glad you didn't do it worse than That....

please be careful...

i robotize with anything i do that involves rotating blades as i switch from table saw to skill saw to chainsaw....

i keep distance from the blade foremost on my mind ....

Pete F. 12-02-2008 03:02 PM

When I was a kid we used to joke about having a 5/8 thumb, I know a few guys who don't have all of one now. My brother had a guy working in his cabinet shop, stuffed some fingers in a dado blade, nothing left to stitch back on, he was in his 60s and had been working with saws for a long time. All power tools can bite you. Every year I feel less invincible.

justplugit 12-02-2008 04:37 PM

Dam that hurts. :(

Glad it wasn't worse.

Raven 12-02-2008 04:41 PM

Pete
 
you reminded me ....with the 5/8's thumb ...


old mr Pearson had measured all his fingers to each crease line and rarely needed a ruler... his whole table saw was made out of wood except for the motor. belt, pulley and the saw blade.... of course...

Grapenuts 12-02-2008 10:23 PM

ONE more time...get glasses u old fart.....drop the wood off at the shop say how big .... I won't even charge ya.Now go an make up a story of how that bluefish and u did battle.

anyone out there that is the slightest bit sscared of a table saw need to consider the Sawstop

Sorry to hear this K. Heal up fast.

Lower 12-05-2008 11:07 AM

Glad you had it stiched up there Karl. Your well on your way to pumping out some plugs.

Diggin Jiggin 12-05-2008 07:45 PM

I hope it heels up fast for you Karl.

The table saw is by far the scariest tool in my basement. I was reading the beginning of the thread and I made an audible gasp when I got to the 'thumb meets table saw Blade'. God I hate reading that.

eastendlu 12-05-2008 08:14 PM

:shocked: Just glad you did not lose one Karl. Hope you heal up quick.

Raven 12-05-2008 08:29 PM

Did the gasp myself, glad it was just a light saw scratch.
Heal quickly Karl

Raven 12-12-2008 12:29 PM

eat plenty of protein....

nerve endings are slow to grow,,,

but with Obama's approval of stem cell research
that will assist scientists in there work of discovering ways
to generate rapid nerve tissue growth...

glad your making progress Karl

Table saw safety
 
I always have 4 pushsticks on the saw at all times.
Fingers never get within 6 inches of that blade.
Sawstop is a VERY good idea.

I remember a sign posted in a shop a few years ago right next to an old 12 inch table saw that read:

"This saw was meant to CUT"

It doesnt distinquish between a finger or a piece of wood.

over on WOODNET, there are plenty of examples of people that just blinked for a second.....

Just food for thought.....
