: ...they don't grow back... but they can be reattached I guess.

: I received the news yesterday that my uncle (and godfather) cut off three
: fingers on his left hand. He's a meat cutter by profession, over 30 years,
: and nipped the tip of his thumb 20 years ago. Yesterday he was cutting a
: piece of pork on one of the bandsaws and it slipped. In the blink of an
: eye he had sawed off most of his pinkie, ring and middle fingers. He was
: transported to Boston right after it happened. He just woke up after a 12
: hour reattachment operation. He'll regain some use of his middle and ring
: fingers but they told him his guitar playing days are over...

: I have a new awareness when I'm around any of my power tools. This struck WAY
: to home.

: Be safe.

: Dan
I guess the next challenge is to implement the 'sawstop' principle to bandsaws.
Now that would be something
