I lost the tip of the pinkie finger at the joint, the ring finger at the middle fingernail. Missed almost a week of work too.

GODDAMMIT I'm sorry I opened that page. Looks like that stung a bit.
-
I did warn you.. Actually, it didn't hurt until a day and a half later when my hand twitched and woke me from a dead sleep.kaspera79:GODDAMMIT I'm sorry I opened that page. Looks like that stung a bit. -
O man, wow that looks painful, on the other hand( get it other hand) sorry lame joke, it could have been worse. Hope it heals fast Bro.
-
Damn bro sorry to hear .... Hope you're feeling better and hop that you make a quick and speedy recovery and that this wont affect what you do.

Been debating on wood working hobby or gardening. Think this helps with my decision. Glad to hear it want worse.
-
Ow.
Could be worse. Back when I was putting interiors into custom yachts, I had an assistant who stuck his thumb into a jointer. You cannot sew hamburger back on.
-
Dude!!! That's rough man. I'm so sorry this happened to you.
-
Well, there's this to look forward to: Tomorrow it will throb. So start drinking early.

Anyone who works with tools long enough will have some close calls. I am surprised the Sawstop table saw never took off. I heard th big boys (delta, rigid, etc) lobbied against the technology...
-
They are impractical, the saw itself costs $5000, plus everytime it trips you have to spend $400 on a replacement part so it will reset. For a one man show its not too bad, but when you have several employees waiting on parts to go through the tablesaw for assembly, it can quickly add up to a big loss of $$ and time (and time also =$$).pross:Anyone who works with tools long enough will have some close calls.

No doubt, but if some of the larger buyers (government) mandated the technology as a safety measure, by now the systemwould be licensed to the big boys, improved, and much, much, cheaper.

Government mandates never do anything but make everything worse. More regulation always = More $$..pross:cabinetmaker:

Yep; when it trips, it drops the spinning blade into a hunk of metal, ruining both parts in the process.
On the other hand, anyone I know who's whacked off fingers wishes they'd had that and usually end up paying more or close to $5k in hospital bills. It WOULD be ghastly expensive to have a bigger shop or mill using those saws.
The tradeoff of paying $500 for a new stop and blade vs. having OSHA snooping around post-digicide, citing you for frayed wires or whatever other B.S. might be worth it.
More importantly- Sorry about the loss of your tools, Cabi.
