They say, "we learn from our mistakes"! I must be the most educated man on earth!All I wanted to do was to put a 1/4" square on the end of this 5/8" drill rod. One broken carbide endmill later....I go inside. Numbers, numbers, dancing in my head!!! Today is not my day. Lol
I had exactly the same experience with my Unisaw. Came away unscathed thank goodness but bought a Sharkguard the next day.Yesterday was again, not my day. Blade guard with riving knife is on order. I had a good 20 year run, but it's time to be smarter evidently. I'll say my luck hasn't run out yet, because I walked away with all my fingers. But the saw is out of commission until the safety gear is attached. The red hand I drew would have been on the opposite face of the board of course, but my goodness that was the scariest (and fastest) thing that's ever happened with a power tool.
