Re: New Study Discusses Tablesaw Injuries

One year sixteen days ago at 4:00 p.m. I too had a 50 year old craftsmen table saw that was my dads. While cutting door panels for my brand new shop I was walking alongside of the running saw to straighten up a roller that was tilted. I was wearing ear protection and apparently did not here the saw running in the back of my mind. I dragged my right hand into the blade and severed six tendons, six nerves and two arteries. After four operations and approx. $150,000.00 . I have eighty percent strength in my right hand and to this day I am still going to physical therapy three times a week
Do I still use that saw? Yes, but I am three fold more conscious of what the blade is doing, and when I save enough money I will buy a safe stop saw.
