re: Weekend Wonders: Funniest Work Shop Story

I was using my Sawstop tablesaw with my Incra mitre gauge and suddenly heard a “bang” and the blade disappeared…I just stood there for a minute staring stupidly at the TS trying to understand where the blade went…then I realized that the TS safety mechanism had tripped and I started checking all my fingers for wounds…when I didn’t find any I stared at the TS some more and finally realized that I’d set the mitre gauge up too close and it had touched the blade and triggered the safety mech on the Saw Stop. Wasn’t funny at the time but pretty funny how confused I was in retrospect…
