Growing up I had a neighbor who was a lumberjack back in the days before chain saws had any safety features, he showed me the scar caused by a chain breaking, whipping around him and nearly cutting him in half. I can't use a chainsaw without thinking about that and I really kind of hate using them. Still use them but only when I have too.

It is very unlikely to happen with modern chainsaws and his accident was pretty much a worst case scenario in even the old saws. Long bar, chain broke in just the right place, whipped out and wrapped around him, chain kept feeding through the saw before he realized what was happening. Apparently his intestines actually spilled out some, he was somewhat of celebrity/medical miracle in the area, showed me the newspaper articles. This was back in the early days of chain saws, he was an old and retired back when he was my neighbor in the 80s, He never went back to the logging industry, became a mechanic after he recovered.

Everyone is saying chainsaws lmao. I use one at work occasionally and they are somewhat worrisome. Always lock them out whenever you are not immediately using them. I slipped on a log and fell like a retard once while using them. Luckily, I had it locked out and always do so when moving even a small distance. Still dumb though and you should watch your footing, because potentially landing on a non running chain won’t be fun either.

I didn't want to buy one ever, but I started needing it since I learned how to weld. I was surprised of the amount of people who told me the guard was going to get in my way and I was better off without it to begin with. Even saying that it doesn't let you see what you're doing lmao.

i'm an arborist by profession.
Even modern high quality chains break from time to time. either from misuse, accident or material fault. on average a chain snaps on me every one to two years. luckily modern chainsaws have a chain catcher under the clutch so even when a chain should snap it will immediately arrest on the catcher as it leaves the bar on the underside and be stopped at the catcher immediately - if you are lucky - just dropping down from the catcher harmlessly or slapping the hand guard on the rear grip where it will lose its momentum.
in the worst of cases one of the chain links will get caught and the rest of the chain will come whipping around on the underside of the bar - miss the hand guard and slap the underside of your rear arm, upper leg or your hip if you are holding the saw sideways.
in any case its going to be like a 35mph whip with teeth but it wont keep running and actually be pulled through your flesh as it hits you. wounds from this should be superficial due to the chain loosing most of its energy on the catch.

should you ever pick up a saw with this safety feature missing or damaged, do not use it!

It’s interesting, in the OSHA era with a million rules and regulations and banning everything, the goddamn 20’+ ladder is still just nothing but some sketchy feet and gravity keeping it up against the roof.

Grandpa once made a circular table saw. Solid steel, the table itself is at least 1 cm thick, height is adjustable but usually somewhere above waistline. Comes with a planer as well, circa 40 cm wide, adjustable depth. Come think of it idk how much power it draws but it hooks up to a triple-phase 380v and once you're sawing everyone within at least 1 km and outdoors knows. It definitely weighs over 200 kg and putting it indoors for after having been used it usually takes two to push&pull it up a ramp made just for it.

Anyway, over the years he's lost a total of 4 finger phalanges to it. I think there were 3 accidents total and a part of a finger was once put back on but not sure anymore, gotta ask some time. It's still his most prized possession and he worries that we will sell it when he passes but I honestly intend to have it moved to my place, mostly for the planer, at least until I learn how to use the saw safely.

Had one of these at my first job that they had one of their heroin addicted whore welded together out of scrap. I was in charge of inventory so I always had to get in the cage.
They also had a corded circular saw with a contraption welded onto it so it could precisely make the same cut along some aluminum parts we made. I ended up filing down some scrap to jam in it as a key so it could stay on
Then there was this beam bending contraption the boss designed and built that used rollers and a motor. All the internals were left exposed and there were probably a dozen ways you could loose a finger to it

Table saws are easily the tool most likely to maim you.

That being said, I'm comfortable with using table saws, especially if they're equipped with riving knives. I would refuse to use pic related for any reason though, since an angle grinder has no anti-kickback features and if the chainsaw disc hooks the wood there's a big possibility that it will launch itself into your meat.

Turns out when you do the same thing over and over as a career, you get complacent and overconfident. And it also turns out that when you do something for a job, you get tend to get tired and your mind wanders.

You are conflating opportunity with probability...the opportunity to run your hand through a saw or vice versa exists each time you use one...that larger pool of opportunities might seem to make doing it more probable, but the opportunity to use that tool *without* an accident exists each time you use it as well. The total number of uses doesn't change that.
>>2523437
>Turns out when you do the same thing over and over as a career, you get complacent and overconfident.
Maybe you do, but witnessing the repercussions of bad decisions and truly unforseeable mishaps like tool and material flaws creating instantaneous danger and havoc makes lots of people far more cautious and methodical in their work, and far less likely to succumb to ridicule or pressure from higher ups to cut corners.
>And it also turns out that when you do something for a job, you get tend to get tired and your mind wanders.
Again, speak for yourself...if anything people with lots of experience know better when to take breaks or stop when fatigued, and understand better than anyone how to stay focused and why it's important.
You're just pulling stuff out of your ass to support your personal biases and assuming that correlation equals causation when it comes to experience and industrial accidents.

>> No.2523537

>that larger pool of opportunities might seem to make doing it more probable
yes that is literally how statistics work, if you have a p chance of not cutting your finger off and n number of opportunities to cut your finger off then the probability that in your life you cut your finger off is p^n. This function approaches 0 and for a sufficiently large n always ends with you cutting your finger off. Having a larger number of times where you don't cut a finger off is not going to undo the one time it does happen.

The wall was jutting out to form the side of a little "patio cubby", so he could have wrapped his arms over the top. Instead he fell gracelessly, only about a 10ft drop though.

Or it doesn't eject and becomes a spinning hook to catch extremities and clothing that get too close because the keys becomes less visible as it spins.
Drill presses are possibly even worse since they develop enough torque to tear things up but don't elicit the same cautious approach that a lathe does; it's "just" a drill press.

Jack safety is easy with cribbing as you go, I use my forklift jack to raise shipping containers when I add one to my shop (whose foundation is suitably large I-beams) and to put pipe rollers beneath. I also use classic Simplex mechanical jacks, the best being an early 1900s 329 telephone pole jack they still manufacture today. The chain grab is insanely handy:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/155277421886

6x6, 4x4, 2x4 and misc flat steel stacked as I go mean the jack could vanish and I'd be in no danger.

Wood cribbing has excellent traction on steel (the reason for placing a board between forklift forks and milling machine rams when lifting) and doesn't crush. The Air Force stores Mark 84s on wood dunnage in the field.

These things used to mill complex shapes in wood before cnc and handheld routers. A follower pin is inserted to the table below the cutter to follow a template. Absolutely terrifying when the workpiece is on the small side. The cope cage around the bit is not much help.
And it always has you second guessing the feed direction, as the rotation is reversed from what you're used to on a router table.

That nut is fuckin hard to remove if its been used at all. It tightens with use, if you put it on only hand tight, spin it up once and then try to remove it, you need the 45cm long wrench te get it loose. There's also the safety which requires the lid to be closed for it to be spun by the motor.

The one we have is a fair bit larger than the one from the picture. Holding up to 25 liters in the "inverse doughnut" bowl.

I only use it for making the "farce" which is a glue like meat paste used for certain types of sausage, as i am a professional sausage maker, but the meal kitchen uses it to slice and dice pickles, fresh parsley, eggs and other stuff they're to lazy to hand cut.

This thread went on way too long without mentioning pic related.

Most other tools have one way to fuck you up. The pole saw will fuck you up in many ways.

1) It’s a heavy saw on the end of a long pole, puts you on the end of a really long lever mechanism, so you get up on a ladder and reach for a branch off to the side and lose your balance and take a fall

2) If you remain on the ladder from #1 and get the saw on top of that branch, you cut through it and as soon as you get through the branch, the heavy end of that sharpened chain comes falling down from the tree

3) You cut a big branch at the wrong angle and get the blade wedged in there, now you have a half cut tree limb and a piece of equipment precariously hanging until something gives

4) You aint got time to trim little branches all day, and it’s a chainsaw so you can go through a limb just as thick as the bar on the saw, and you end up dropping 1/4 of a large tree from 15ft above you right onto your dome.

#4 almost got me. I actually cut most of the smaller branches off and then chopped off a log like 6” wide and 3’-4’ long, forgetting how heavy wet wood like that is. The corner of the log clocked me in the forehead.

Homemade spot welders for making rechargeable battery packs. They look like a good recipe for explosions, fire, electrocution, or all three combined.

Those things are made the same as those Lichtenberg burning fad that killed 34 people. My one hope is that people making battery packs would be more aware of the dangers of electricity then crafters and have better safety as a consequence.

Those things are made the opposite of the lichtenberg transformers; when used as a spot welder you are running it as a step down-- that fat wire in a single turn is the output/secondary.

Low voltage with lots of amps.

So what’s the end result of that? If it touches your toe, it will blow the toe off on its way to ground with all the amps, but if it touches your finger, not enough potential to even make it all the way?

Chainsaws are driven by a sprocket and it pulls the chain from underneath up over the top If the chain breaks, it goes flying out the front of the blade away from the operator. Chain breaks are incredibly unlikely to happen and my friend who's worked in a log sort for 30 plus years is only ever experienced one once.

Wrong way, you pack the teeth with talc to avoid gouging and then glide the file from one end of the workpiece to the othetusing the entire surface of the file.

Angle grinders are pretty scary especially if you remove the guard. Too many people put them down hard after they're finished with them and damaged the Cutting disc and fractured inside that's when you have accidents.

I used to use one of those flimsy aluminum step ladders then my wife got one of those multi-folding ones that you can arrange in an eight shape a v-shape or uses a straight ladder. Another one is one of those yellow fiberglass ones that electricians use which are nice and light but still very strong.

Recognize exist for people who don't understand how you get Kickback from the solely getting pinched on the back side of the cut.

You watch the cut behind the blade and if it starts pinching on you you stop turn the saw off, add a wedge to keep it from pinching and then resume your cut.


The two times I've had an injury for Kickback is when I got a workpiece cut off stuck between the blade and the fence and got propelled back into me giving me a cut by my belly button. The other time was when I was using a Delta attending jig and the piece came loose and fell backwards across the blade got picked up and propelled into me.

I love timber Framing and learned about this for my grandfather doing a hutterite building in Manitoba decades ago. I really want one of these big ass Makita saws but here in Canada Rhoda after got bought out by Lowe's boosted the price from $800 to 1200 and they're still the same damn saws. What a bunch of crooks

T1 diabetic here, needle drop boxes every fucking bathroom in every restaurant.

Druggies just drop their needles everywhere and go out of their way to tape them the playground equipment because some parents complained about these junkies shitting everywhere.

One gets beaten with a scrap of 2x4. Neighborhood says "we aint seen nothin'". Junkie gets an interview with CBC saying "We're misunderstood." People rally around junkie and get them housing, promptly burns it down.

You have dust mite allergies, anon. Rip our all your carpeting, put special cases on your bedding and pillows, then shoot yourself in the had because nothing works.
