Thread: Pull saw accessories

I have never tried one yet so can't comment on them. Mind you all other saws can draw blood as well. I just got a reminder from the bandsaw yesterday. I had left off the lower guard and reached under to adjust the table angle. I was fortunate that it was only a nick. I look at as a reminder to do things right next time.

All tools come with the risk of eating into the fingers and other parts, gave the old finger a slice with the chisel yesterday, at least I know it's sharp heh. Never having used a pull saw before I can't speak about them, really

I believe there are things you can get to improve your memory, other than blood letting, which is SO medieval.

Hasten slowly.

And think, If someone sneaks up behind you & gives you a fright, you can give them a pasting with the saw they will not soon forget

Yes Ashore, I use one and love it- cuts just about anything, especially fingers. Actually I am quite pleased with how the saw holds its edge, mine has made repeated cuts on my fingers over several years and there has been no appreciable loss of cutting power .

Seriously this sounds like a tread recently about another forum member who stuck their hand into a tablesaw and then a little later a router.

I will tell you what I told him (Slow Down) I have been using Jap saws for 20 years and never a nick so If you are doing it on a regular basis then you must just be using so little care as to make it inevitable.
I also suspect thet if you are taking so little care of where the blade goes you are likely hitting other things you shouldnt with the blade probably leading to tooth damage.
I think it fair to assume that if you lack care with hand tools then machines are a real risk for you.

Take Care
