Hey guys,
So today while milling the leg stock for my coffee table I had an interesting thing happen at my table saw. I was milling 16/4 black walnut which is a lot to ask my PM 64A to do anyway, although it went through great. Anyway, I had the board jointed flat, but for some dumba$$ reason I ran it through the ts looking at the flat top and had the bowed bottom on the table. I just didn't realize it (guess my mind was elsewhere) and about 1" from having it through the stock collapse in on itself where the kerf had been run through. Well one side was pinned against my fence and the other I guess was just heavy enough to stay put, but my saw blade instantly slowed way down and I heard how hard the motor was working to keep the blade spinning...Very scary sound, so I immeadiately jumped back let go of everything (to get my hands away from the blade) and hit the stop button...Man if that never happens again it will be too soon. I guess I got too it pretty fast b/c there wasn't even a burn mark, but man that happened fast...I am so mad at myself for not noticing the flat side was up :rolleyes: duh, what did I think I was looking at :confused: Anyway, just wanted to share b/c I feel bad about it...
