I picked a fight with a tablesaw shortly after getting out of the Air Force. Was building a fancy doghouse for Mom & Dad's dog and was working in Dad's shop. He had an older Sears contractor tablesaw where the blade guard had also been removed....because it was lousy. Also, little did I know that the rip fence on this saw often did not lock perfectly aligned for a cut. It would usually lock right-on or out slightly at back end, but this time it locked too far in. The board got bound up between blade and fence and kicked up. Cut the tip off left index finger and knicked top of left middle finger. Ended up driving myself to the hospital....in my stick shift truck. *hehe*
The doctor took a skin graft from left wrist. Makes it look like I tried to cut my wrist at some point. Middle finger would have healed perfectly if not for the stitches. A simple band aid would have sufficed. Anyway, all is well now.
To this day I won't trust a rip fence to lock perfectly parallel to the blade; not even a Beismeyer! I'll measure it every time.

It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
