Please include us Segmenters Al!! My injury from the tablesaw involved carrying a piece back across the blade, being one of a hundred rips and daydreaming/ lack of focus; caught the blade, shot it right into my gut after ripping my fingernail off! I never touched the blade but learned to focus the hard way! Danger lurks for the inattentive!!
I am sure that you and other turners have had ER visits from the table saw. I just do not know of any in my circle of friends.
I did include the segmenters I know. One of those I mentioned missing a finger part from flat work is a segmenter, he just did not get hurt on the table saw cutting turning parts.
My conviction that the bandsaw causes more injuries than anything in turning is just my unscientific anecdotal experiences.
I also keep in mind something my freind Steve Gleasner was fond of saying,
“the most dangerous tool is the one you are using”
