Re: machine shop horror stories

This did NOT happen in robotics (thank goodness.... a million times)
nor to someone I know...
and I'm not a hundred percent sure of how it happened, but
Someone in a woods class in my school was cutting on a table saw...
Either he reached for a piece of wood near the blade, or tried to cut a piece of wood two short....
Lost a finger, and a half a finger, and a half a thumb, presumably in the fashion of the picture, one straight cut...
Moral of the story : Don't cut small pieces, use a pushstick, and turn off saw to get scrap out.. Please...
