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.

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.

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...

Take Steve's offer 
anyone out there that is the slightest bit sscared of a table saw need to consider the Sawstop
the contracter version is about 1500, the cabinet version I would need goes over 3500
heal quick big K |
The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

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.

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.....
