Any power tool can hurt you. I had a piece of maple kickback and explode on a miter saw, which I didn’t even know was possible.
Luckily, the only actual injury I’ve gotten while woodworking was on a scroll saw, which is basically just a sewing machine with a small saw blade. Piece of wood pinched around the blade and jerked up, took the back of my finger against the blade. Minimal damage, but it bled like a stuck pig for a bit
@UsernameLost aiiyeeeee exploding wood does not sound like a good time. Or losing skin 🙃
The worst I’ve had so far is a splinter or some chafed skin. 👀🤞
Lol can’t say I recommend either experience. As far as power tool injuries go, scroll saw is probably the best one to do it on. I think it was completely healed in a few days, but basically just a shallow cut. Be careful, don’t get complacent, and you should be able to avoid major injuries!
