What is mystifying is how the projectile was launched in
the first place. I have a hard time believing a saw of any
kind would be able to transfer sufficient energy to the
molding. I don't think a saw or other tool accident would
have resulted in this "angle of attack" either.

Google "table saw kickback" and perhaps you won't have quite such a hard time
believing it. :-)

Tip speed of a 10" table saw blade is about 110 mph.
Motors in the type of table saw found on job sites are typically in the 0.75
to 1.5 HP range.
