It binded and shot itself and the piece I was cutting right at my balls.
I threw up and pissed blood

    I thought the SawStop was safe!

    It’s ok, I went full moron with the miter saw last week and was cutting some 1x2 into tiny little ~1” blocks for spacing and I straight up launched a few wood blocks somewhere into another dimension. Got lucky though and my piss was yellow.

      Push sticks, feather boards and Riving Knives are your friend. I had a close call once when I was using a table saw to cut rabbits without a riving knife, Shot the board across the room and knocked over a bunch of boards I had leaning against the wall which made a hell of a racket. My parents were downstairs in about 10 seconds to make sure I didn't just gut myself.

      Sawstop is a fine tablesaw, Will probably save you if you put your finger in the blade but wont do much for kickback if you don't have the above listed attachments in place.

      I don't understand how that happens, I pull boards from the wrong side when I'm ripping long pieces by myself but like, just let go. Was he pulling from 6 inches away from the blade?

      Guy probably tried to play tug of war with the saw and lost. OR he was wearing gloves which caught a splinter.

        >Push sticks, feather boards and Riving Knives are your friend.

        First one is imperative when working within striking distance of the blade in any table saw operation, only a moron doesnt use them in that scenario.

        Second is almost never a substantial hindrance to any table saw operations and makes operating them vastly safer. Many people who use table saws never use them and don't even know what they are.

        Third only matters in certain operations/conditions that may or may not be present, limits the ability to perform certain operations, makes zero clearance throat plates (themselves a safety measure) harder to make and install, were never used much except when actually necessary/valuable for the entire history of table saws until the SawStop guy's lawfare tactics forced manufacturers to install them on top of a gorillion other safety devices and warning labels and user manual safety sections and online tutorials that still don't keep dumbasses from hurting themselves doing stupid shit on a tablesaw that they have no business turning on.

        So what you are saying is that it's not necessary or even always advantageous the way the lowly push stick is.

    every time I take out my table saw I feel like a pussy for getting really nervous about using it

    and then some anon makes a thread or a post about how they got fricked up by their table saw and that gets me through another cut, knowing that I'm not a pussy

    When I was younger and working for my grandpa installing hardwood flooring I was cutting a notch for a heat register on the tablesaw doing a plunge cut. I pulled the board towards me by a milimeter and it launched the board back jamming my thumb on the hand I was holding it. The base of my thumb was swollen for a week.

    I still plunge cut because I trust the way my grandpa taught me, he didn't lose a finger and a half until a miter saw incident in his late 70's.

      That’s a hell of a run, and it wasn’t even a table saw accident.

      What do you guys use for push block tools and shit? I’m thinking about this kit, but those Grrripper things look sweet. The yellow and green ones are pricey though and I’m not sure if half a thumb is worth the ~$70 for two little blocks.

        Curious how good the grippy things are on these cheaper orange ones and if they will last.

          Meh, if you are going to buy a push block get a nice one, otherwise make your own.

        The grippy pad style devices are good for holding down things like sheet goods at a distance from the blade to keep them from climbing but I never use anything like that to provide the push motion into the blade, there's just too much to go wrong if you lose that traction, even if your hand stays in one piece you lose control of the work.
        Best thing I've found for safety on small rip cuts when milling things like molding and edge banding is feather boards...I have a nice hardwood one with hardware that locks it into the crosscut fence stop for side pressure but also make them up as needed to attach to the fence as hold downs.

        With those in place and properly set up it's almost like an unpovered power feed; you still have to push but thecpossibility of kickbacks is virtually eliminated. The boards are close enough to the blade edge that they act as a natural semi-barrier to keep hands out and away and because of the barbs it's much safer to have a partner pull the last few inches through from the outfield side or walk around and do it yourself from a safe distance.
        Otherwise if I need a push stick it's always one with a notch, and long enough to push the work past the blade without putting any part of myself over the blade or in the line of kickback fire. That's obviously not 100% possible but you can get to 98-99% and be super extra careful and aware on the scary cuts, or use another method.

    Your blade was too high you weren't using a riving knife and you removed the guard.
    They gave you all the tools and you still fricked up.

    I worked with an alcoholic that was terrified of the table saw, one day he forgot to lock the blade in position and was attempting to pull a board through from the wrong side of the saw, the blade grabbed that board and pulled it and his hand into the blade he lost 2 fingers and almost a third. I got the call to come in a finish the job and clean up the blood splatter that created an arc of gore across the ceiling. There was wet ground bone deposited on the saw table in a neat pile. Don't frick around with table saws you big dummy
