HEY BIG Dummy

I second the push sticks. Even those new table saws that say they turn off when flesh makes contact don't convince me they work. You mean I have to cut part of my thumb before it turns off??

Get well soon.

I know your pain brother. I was using a sliding compound mitre saw a couple of years ago, finished a cut and let go of the saw, then is slid forward and fell of the table. Like an idiot, I go to grab it and the blade shatters the guard and cuts my wrist, severing a tendon and making it look like I tried to off myself. A couple of weeks on percaset and a couple of month of rehab and I am good as new. Lucky as hell that I still have both hands.
Hope you heel quick.

(no pun intended with the thumbs up)
