I bought a new 80 tooth finish blade for my miter saw a month ago to cut some reclaimed oak for my house. I replaced the doors upstairs and have some very nice clear oak lengths trued on my jointer, planed and sanded. Made some plinth blocks and banding to create a stain grade multi dimensional molding profile around each door. I went out to the shop tonight to make sure I had everything I needed for tomorrow and found a huge pile of saw dust all over my table. The trail of concentration led to my miter saw stand. I followed it to see a pile of discarded pieces of tree branch......WTFreak?! I Went in the house to inquire who the culprit was as if I didn't know. Mrs DF cut up a ton of branches so she could use the disks in an art project. I went back out and made a cut on some scrap oak. Yep. Ruined. The cut was choppy and the blade pulled on the material as I cut. Checked the teeth. Porked. Some broken off. She has her own miter saw, but used mine because it was already set up. I love my wife, but sometimes.....! Mad

Sounds like a keeper if you ask me Big Grin

Sounds like something mine would do or similar. She is more handy than myself. I like that about her.

Maybe that's one difference between me and you. My wife has never used my table saw, miter saw, jointer, planer, drill press; router table, has no interest in doing so. But she has no qualms in telling me I am doing it wrong when I am using one of those tools. Roll Eyes

BTW, any scars/stitches as "memorabilia" of your power tools? Smile

None on me.....Jury's still out on SWMBO though. One of her brothers is a master woodworker. A retired cop, he has plenty of time to work his passion in his shop. A few years ago he bought a Sawstop table saw. He is super careful. He makes deliberate and slow movements around machinery. I credited that to his having all ten digits even after working in his shop for 25 years. I figured he bought the Sawstop on a whim. However, just a year later, WHAM! the Sawstop blade was triggered, jammed into the aluminum brake and dove under the table surface faster than one can blink. He felt nothing, but on inspection noticed a tiny nick on a finger. Somehow careful Cho (his nick name since a child) touched the blade. He still doesn't know how, but is certain he would have lost that finger. Would have been a member of the stub club. I'm pretty careful too, but have caught myself getting close....

OK, I am jealous. I have nothing missing, but I do have some reminders.

My wife couldn't open the door to my enclosed delivery trailer, so my mother loaned her a crow bar. the door when she finished looked like a lid out of a coffee can I kid you not, all she had to do is turn the handle and pull. but that was just to difficult. btw she never did get the door open.

At least it’s only the blade and you found out before digging it into some near-priceless wood.

Your job is to make your wife happy, isn't it? Your cost for enabling her success on her project (an essential element of her self-esteem and happiness) is a new miter saw.

Sounds cheap to me. What're you complaining about?


Thanks,

Sap

Maybe... I’ve used woodworking tools for 35 years. I’m cutting a channel in a 2X2 to make a window for my deer shack. First kickback on a bench saw. Never felt a thing.

In the OP Darthfuster says she has one of her own already.

I resisted the urge to get after her about the blade. I just bought a new one that I'll swap out when I'm done.

You should warn us before posting a pic like that. Smile

But it looks like the back of my pointer finger a couple of years ago. I was in a hurry to finish up some work before going to class, lost focus on the band saw. The ER was on the way to the college, I stopped in, told them to glue it up. "You are passed the glue stage, well into the stitch stage". I was about 30 minutes late for class.

My wife has done the same, and far worse. Roll Eyes

Mine managed to bend up a garage door, but at least she stays away from my power tools.

I will pass on what my father told me when I was young. During life you will make choices, with those choices come consequences. Some consequences are good some are bad. All choices you will have to live with....my suggestion is pick better blades for your Miter saw! Big Grin
