Be Scared....

[LCHIEN]

I had an old miter saw that the blade guard broke off. Sent plastic pieces rattling around my shop. I set it in the trash, and the next morning it was gone. I have always wondered if it seperated digits from the scavenger.

Bill I think we found it.

Handle !! You would not find my hands within 25 feet of that thing!!

That looks like mine! Except mine has all the guards in place…

That moron is just down the street from me!

Where's the cat?

Maybe you should go visit 'Stumpy' and explain the poor decision he's making in selling that to anyone. Lord forbid someone hurt themselves and remembered where they purchased it. The lawyers would have a field day....

I don't see a power cord -- maybe it's just ornamental... like a garden gnome.

Miter saw

Actually the saw I described actually got me once. I was cutting brush with it into 6' lengths at my daughters house so the city would pick it up curbside. I still had the guard with it then. I found out why you don't wear gloves around power tools. The blade was free spinning after a cut and it caught the glove on my little finger (my little finger is naturally short so it never fills out a glove to the end) and pulled my hand into the blade. The glove and my fingers stopped the blade, but I had a gash on my middle and ring finger and a pretty good hunk out of the little finger. It was sore, but no permant damage. I use a lot of caution using any saw, particularly a miter saw now. That is why I was quick to throw it out when the guard shattered.
