[QUOTE="fender66, post: 152826, member: 2990"] Bobberboy...great post. Believe it or not....I have all those tools and practice all those safety practices....even wear safety glasses religiously as I have spent my life around one of the best tooled garages in my neighborhood....mine :mrgreen: However.....it was my miter saw that I was using. Cutting 1/2" off a piece of 1"X2" offset aluminum angle about a foot long. (done this hundreds of times) For some reason, this time...it kicked back. Fortunately...it was just the aluminum that got me. The blade would have been worse even though it has a brake on it. I did get lucky. Unfortunately, I don't think there is much more I could have done to protect myself outside of gloves. I guess this is why they call this an accident. I am more aware, or better wording would be "reminded" of the hurt that can happen even when you are being careful. Outside of splinters or hitting my finger with a hammer.....this is the worst injury I've had from my tool shop. (quick....knock on wood) I appreciate all the well wishes. You guys are the greatest. I wish there was a way to get everyone together for a fish fry. I will heal and fish again soon. Thanks again. [/QUOTE]
