Bandsaw Safety

[Joseph Garrett]

All,
Just a short note regarding safety and the bandsaw. It is a well know fact
that the band saw is one of the most dangerous power tools. Because it
doesn't make a lot of noise and the blade is small and the blade is not
"spinning", it generally has a tendency to "put you to sleep" while
operating it. I strongly suggest having various push sticks readily at hand.
After all the blade cannot discern between wood and FINGERS! I've got all of
mine and intend to keep them, so be safe out there guys and gals.
Best Regards,
