    Hi my good coleague… Be careful. And uses individual protection devices, and, never remove fence of blade. Stay safe! Greetings from Brasil.

    The exact thing happened to my neighbors wife. The projectile destroyed her left eye, she has a glass eye now. 3 months ago she lost her thumb while she was cutting a board without using a push stick.

    The knife on or off had nothing to do with the accident, leaving that loose piece on the side of the spinning blade was your problem, you should have removed it. Also your thick blade with thick teeth had some to do with it also your blade to high, no need to expose that much blade……. get yourself a nice combination thing blade for that saw. The knife is there to keep the kerf open after the cut ( so your work will not pinch or bind the blade). On any saw you don’t leave or have anything on the table while the saw is running. The blade is rotating down at the beginning of the cut until midway, then it is traveling or rotating up in the back of the cut, air also generates up in the back causing that piece of loose wood to climb over. OK, looks like you still don’t know how or what happen so I had to watch the video again, what you did was not to brilliant and you are luck that was just a hit on the nose. You cut the first piece, than, you adjusted your fence for the second cut without turning OFF the blade, than, you made the second cut with that loose first cut in front of the spinning blade…. as you push the loose piece of the table the front tilted up and with the many claws on your blade it grab and throw it over at you. Two mistakes you made. If you would have turn off the blade to adjust the fence for your second cut you would have taken that loose piece of the table. Operator fault. That is what did it….. hope you learn from your mistakes because next time could be a bloody mess. be safe.

    Sorry to hear about your accident. That sucks man. Glad you’re OK.

    Over here in UK since 1974 it has been illegal for anyone to run a table saw without the riving knife installed…. Now I know why !…. as without the riving knife to keep the wood apart it could bind and then kickback at you !

    It would also be a good idea to obtain a suitable blade guard that fits onto the top of the riving knife and protects you from such accidents as a safety precaution.

    Never watch YouTube woodworkers for safety tips, unless they are actually talking about safety. I’ve seen YouTube woodworkers do things that were so profoundly stupid & dangerous I immediately unsubscribed and quit watching. I won’t mention names but he has a homemade table saw…



  10. versatile duplicity on December 29, 2021 at 10:12 pm

    if you wore your safety mask, your noise would’ve been fine. i wear a mask, ear plugs and goggles.



  11. Tomaso on December 29, 2021 at 10:13 pm

    You are lucky. Your accident seemed to have knocked some sense into your head. Sorry, I had to say it… it was too obvious. People do the stupidest things when using dangerous equipment. Thanks for the video. You seem to have nice-looking projects, you’re lucky that you’ve been able to get away with bad habits for this long….



  12. Brian B on December 29, 2021 at 10:15 pm

    That would never happen to me. I would never dare to use a tablesaw without a knife. I did however got struck in the face by some scrap that was underneath, and backfired at some point. I just dont’t stand in the line of fire anymore…



  13. rica yan on December 29, 2021 at 10:19 pm

    tnx so much sir, this is important for us beginners. Godblz u sir tc.



  14. Joni English on December 29, 2021 at 10:20 pm

    thanks for the Video TIP



  15. Philip Priestman on December 29, 2021 at 10:22 pm

    Thanks man, just bought an old table saw, already removed the Perspex hood thingy, the riving knife was gonna be next, think I’ll put it back now 😔



  16. Claudio Corvino on December 29, 2021 at 10:24 pm

    Thank you for share, hope you are ok now.



  17. FRAN7 on December 29, 2021 at 10:25 pm

    these machines (circular saw, table saw and angle grinder) look like they haven’t received a safety-tech update in a long time. they are all primitive and basic. these machines should include improvements in order to prevent these events.



  18. Jean Claude Peeters on December 29, 2021 at 10:29 pm

    That is why we use a riving knife in Europe…



  19. Hoàng Kỳ on December 29, 2021 at 10:31 pm

    Thank you for the documentation… I appreciate it. Take care.



  20. Huevoneous Maximus on December 29, 2021 at 10:32 pm

    Glad you’re ok.



  21. Welsh Rabbit on December 29, 2021 at 10:32 pm

    Thanks for posting. Good advice. I’m glad you were not more seriously injured and that there are no long term effects.



  22. omar omar on December 29, 2021 at 10:32 pm

  23. Ary M on December 29, 2021 at 10:33 pm

    Thanks for showing us what happened!



  24. pack 2000 on December 29, 2021 at 10:34 pm

    The best cuting i think if we want to cut 10 cm
    Best cut 5 cm and turn the piece …
    Or reduce speed..



  25. StreetArtillery on December 29, 2021 at 10:35 pm

    I’m going to start wearing King Arthur’s armor



  26. haroon420 on December 29, 2021 at 10:35 pm

    I see the riving knife is back on now. People need to take safety seriously!



  27. Kim Jong Un on December 29, 2021 at 10:36 pm

    No riving knife? I am new to table saws and every video I see on safety says never cut without one because this exact scenario. Not trying to be an asshole, just wondering why you would remove it?



  28. The WoodCrafter on December 29, 2021 at 10:37 pm

    Sorry for your injury, hope you are fine now, I never remove the riving knife to avoid similar situations. Anyway, we learn a lot from our mistakes for sure. Thx for sharing your experience and advice. Happy woodwrking



  29. katie L on December 29, 2021 at 10:38 pm

    Thank you for information This will help some one .Hope you ok now

    Thanks for sharing



  31. frbrable on December 29, 2021 at 10:39 pm

    I experienced kickback once, with a piece of wood hitting my left arm so hard I thought it was broken for a few minutes (turned out to be a bad bruise). That was scary! From then on, I used the riving knife!



  32. Khalid Ali on December 29, 2021 at 10:42 pm

    Table saw is the most dangerous machine in woodworking I had a bad accident in my fingers just to add an advice over this accident always focus be full conscious free mind if you are not in good mode never work in woodworking activity.
    Luckily bro you wasn’t injured seriously had bless



  33. T Kirkers on December 29, 2021 at 10:43 pm

    Thanks FRS I appreciate your sharing this.

    Full help with projects on the Woodprix website.



  35. Sierra Adams on December 29, 2021 at 10:44 pm

    Not sure if you’re even still checking messages from this video but I’d like to tell you thank you from the bottom of my heart for making this. And I’m so sorry for your nose. I was going to build a DIY table saw in Mount my circular one. I would not have had that blade. I know pretty certainly that the same or something worse definitely would have happened to me. Thank you thank you thank you for sparing me the pain.xoxo to you!



  36. Gamal Abdel-Wahab on December 29, 2021 at 10:45 pm

    Best wishes and speedy recovery.
    40 years ago a carpenter in my construction working site was killed with a similar accident when the piece of wood hit him directly in his heart. Terrible!!



  37. Jack Dunn on December 29, 2021 at 10:45 pm

    Try to remember to stick to the safety basics, the safety peripherals (like the riving knife) are there for a reason. Jared D put it best with his safety list, be safe bro.

    I’m glad you are ok. Great vídeo, great message. Thanks for sharing.

    Wow feel better



  41. Ozil Ozil on December 29, 2021 at 10:48 pm

    بقات تجيك في العين يا المبيوع



  42. Mule Kick Handmade Guitars on December 29, 2021 at 10:49 pm

    While the riving knife certainly would’ve prevented the cutoff piece from getting into the running blade, this was really only the secondary contributor to your accident. It was actually the fact that you didn’t remove that cutoff piece from the saw table, especially while the blade was turning, that was the primary cause. I’ve adopted the habit of shutting off the saw as soon as I complete a cut, and I never leave my cutoffs on the table as I commence the next cut. Shut it off before your next move. The blade can’t hurt you if it ain’t runnin’. Glad you’re okay.



  43. LSam Brexi on December 29, 2021 at 10:49 pm

    Thanks man I made a subscription in your channel because you care about people..Great job



  44. versatile duplicity on December 29, 2021 at 10:50 pm

    what happened is you didn’t wear a mask



  45. D L K on December 29, 2021 at 10:50 pm

    You were really lucky considering what could happened.



  46. KINGZ OF STANCE on December 29, 2021 at 10:52 pm

    You got lucky



  47. svkscorpio on December 29, 2021 at 10:55 pm

    Best is to have safety glasses and also a helmet with a metal front guard like the ones used in the game cricket.



  48. Tomato on December 29, 2021 at 10:56 pm

    Glad ur eyes are saved!



  49. Jayden Brumous on December 29, 2021 at 10:56 pm

    I used Woodprix instructions for this and I already did it 🙂



  50. Deepak gurung on December 29, 2021 at 10:57 pm

    Thats why wear safety gloves and glasses.
