And ... what your late mother in law's idiot neighbor did was seriously stupid. I will admit that my action with respect to my table saw was not quite on that level of stupidity, it was still pretty damn stupid.
Although ... I do now have a nice base for my miter saw. So, I guess it's an ill wind .... and all that stuff.  |
Don't do it!!!
Even a pinky lets out a lot of blood. I lost two finger tips (about a half inch off the two left middle fingers) to a jointer and it hurts like hell and you loose more than you think. If you loose a thumb it is considered a loss of 60% of your dexterity. In the process it cut my musical career completely.
Think of building a jig for whatever you need to do.
