Note to self... If it cuts metal it will also cut you...

Sharper than I thought they were. They cut thru that sheet metal like butter. Was expecting multiple cuts. Lesson learned. On the plus side, instead of stitches I had my first treatment with dermabond. :)

Thru the nail, glanced off the bone, out the tip. Bled for two hours before I gave up and visited the ER. Male stuborness....

I keep dermabond in my first add kit , (sister is in health care) doesn’t work good on a joint that bends though .

Glad it wasn't worse, still not happy though....
 
Glad to see you weren't hurt worse. I've always been super careful around my table saw, so the router table got me instead. Seems
like we need to learn these lessons the hard way.

Yep... Always the hard way... But I always say, it isn't officially a tool until it has some blood on it...lol

Like Woodchucker I am going to have a bump on the nail from the scar underneath. But otherwise it has healed nicely. Very lucky to still have my digit :)
