In Response To: Scafing jig WARNING (Kudzu)

: This morning I was cutting some stingers using a new sled similar to this
: one. I was cutting out knots from 5/8" stock. Cut in front of the
: knot. Then made a cut behind the knot and the small piece fell off on the
: sled. I pulled the sled back to remove the stock.

: What happened then I am honestly not clear on. But apparently the cut off
: piece was launched by the blade into my thumb. It took the thumbnail off.
: Yes off! Needless to say taking some other parts of the thumb I wanted to
: keep with it. X-rays reveal a chipped bone. Got to make a trip to the
: Orthro Doc Friday. Not the morning I was hoping for!

: Keep in mind I do a lot of woodworking and know what I am doing. I am not a
: newbie that did something stupid. So please be careful. I think I know
: what happened. Once I can I am going to look into this and will update.
: Just don't want anyone to have to deal with this.

: OK, pain pill is kicking in.
: BE CAREFUL!!

Hi Jeff,

Ouch, hope that heels quickly.

My scarfing jig tends to do the same thing with small pieces. It's not so far shot one at me, but has tossed pieces around the shop.

We'll need to look into a better solution at some point I guess.
