Watch your fingers around the band saw, or learn the hard way
I was breaking down a leg of lamb last Tuesday at the shop in Portland, not even rushing, and the blade grabbed my thumb just enough to pull it into the guard. Lucky it was just the tip through the nail, but blood everywhere and I had to shut down for 20 minutes to clean up and wrap it. The owner chewed me out for not using the push stick on smaller cuts, and honestly he was right. Anyone else had a close call with a saw that made you change how you work?

Lost the tip of my pinkie to a deli slicer back in '09. Now I treat every blade like it's personally out to get me.
