Today I was sawing some 4" circles out of 4 1/2" square cedar blocks. I was using my 14" Jet bandsaw with a new blade. I was finishing the last fraction of an inch on the last piece.  I ALWAYS, ALWAYS apply pressure in a direction that keep my fingers away from the blade if slippage takes place. I don't know how or why, but there was a slippage. Next thing I know my finger got in to and on the side of the blade. I felt the teeth hit my finger and quickly looked to see how damage I had done. NO BLOOD. NO DAMAGE. NO SCRATCHES!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I have NO idea, but am VERY thankful!

Bandsaw scares me as much as any if them.

Glad you are okay!

The man had you covered for sure there Ron!!! That was a close one, typically if you feel it your done fer, but you felt is and came away with a nick, glad you made it out alive sir,

Thank goodness He was there!

Makes a heart go pata pat, huh.  Divine providence!

Whew~!!  Betchya a whole clean crisp dollar you won't let that happen again.

RON - Whew - a close one indeed

God and several gaurdian angels were indeed on your shoulder.
