Yeah, you betcha.
Had my head waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay up my a$$ this morning. Lord only knows what
the heck I was thinking - or not thinking.
Was cutting 2" 4/4 blocks. There was the fence - pinching them 'tween blade
and fence.
That lil' 1 3/4hp whizzed blade picked up a pair of them - threw one into
the drywall and shattered the other into shrapnel.
I always wear a full face shield, thick coveralls and stand way to the left.
I count this as a Warning Shot Across the Bow.
Woodworking Machines don't kill...
...But stupidity sure as hell can!

On my web site is an attempt to explain what could be called a British (or
American) Standard Accident.
Please see Circular Sawbench Safety - Fences.

I know of an eye (not mine) that was lost through this situation.
