Merlin05 Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 I was making a basket for my anvil stand and cutting some 1 1/2" bed angle when this happened. 14" standard off-the-shelf HF 14" chop saw. I've never had this happen before. Luckily, I was both wearing my Eye Pro and standing well to the side when it decided to let go: Wear your Eye Pro! Thanks for looking!

Frosty Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Ooh, that'll leave a mark! Good for you, wearing eye protection and standing out of the plane of rotation. Well done, walk away with nothing but a tale to tell and the blade's the only loss. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Looks like it was intended for fairly light duty as the metal "studs" are quite thin. I had fun trying to get my students into the leather aprons and safety glasses yesterday. I wouldn't start class till they were geared up; sort of like teaching our kids to wear seat belts.

I've been using this type for a long time. I think I got a couple 10 packs several years ago. Never had fly apart like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
