Even careful people can get burned.
I was back in the shop tonight, just a few minutes ago my hand almost hit the TS blade.

I was prepping some wood, and threw the offcut in the bucket, but it
missed. I didn't know it landed one step away. I left the saw running
while I went to pick up the next piece to rough cut. And that's when I
stepped on the offcut rolled my ankle and wound up with my hand inches from disaster.

Some of you may say I should have shut it, but when doing a lot of rough
cutting I just grab the next piece... but I get it.

Too close for comfort.. My ankle will be sore tomorrow... when the
adrenaline stops pumping.



Didn't you just say you were putting the SawStop on hold till next year?
:-(

Glad you dodged this one if you are serious about a new saw I'd say start
shopping for what you want.
