I've been kicking this can down the road for years, but I finally got a job that involves cutting so much melamine board there's no way I'm doing it with a circular saw.

I watched multiple safety videos before even opening the package, and now I'm just sitting here staring at it wondering whether I should fire it up and cut off a finger or two. I'm fucking terrified of this thing.

Congratulations, and stay terrified, but not erratic.

    I have had my table saw for 25 years. Still terrified of the fucker. Then again I had two teachers who taught me the basics of using them when I was a teenager..... Both had missing fingers.

    One had a scar from a broken jaw from a kickback.
