re: Admitting our dangerous (and dumb) mistakes might help others.

Ok, I’ll toss mine in. I had just got my new zero clearance insert for the table saw. I was excited to try it out. I had a cut to make on a small piece of trim. Our was a good boy and set up a feather board to guide the piece into the blade, and used a push stick and everything (thank goodness. ) all safe and secure, right? Well, I did neglect one little thing. I failed to level the new insert flush with the table. When the stock began to exit the back of the blade it caught on the curved seam between the insert and the table. It turned the piece, bound the blade, and fired my workpiece off the saw and out the door of the shop. I had to make a new push stick after that. Whoops. At least it wasn’t a finger
