I worked at the Home Depot a bit in college, and before that worked in a meat department that used bandsaws which are strikingly similar. It's actually amazing how frequent someone losing a chunk of a finger is. If you've worked in that atmosphere for long, you know someone it happened to. If you've worked in it your whole life, you probably are someone it happened to.
- gojomo 17y agoI still remember getting barked at by a shop teacher in high school as my hand wandered towards where the band-saw blade is obscured but exposed in back. Essentially, if you were to hold that portion of the device like a caulking/icing tube pointed where you're cutting, you'd easily lose a finger tip. Even then, it struck me as really bad design. (If you're shielding me from seeing it from in front, shield me from touching it from behind!)
