I frequently .. constantly … have cuts on my left fore finger. These come from guiding a chisel (held in my right hand). Last weekend, however, I came the closest I ever have to a significant injury with a power tool, my Hammer bandsaw. Simply, I forgot it was running (a 1” carbide blade), and waved my right hand near the blade (I am always sooo careful with machines). It was a faint touch, and the shock instantly caused me to withdraw my hand. The resulting damage was a light cut to two fingers. This really smarted and there was some blood. I kept this from my wife, and will never tell her how close it was to losing two fingers.
