Thank you Daniel and so glad all ended so well, could have been much worse,
says I who almost lost a thumb to a vintage table saw (read, no guard or
anti-kick up device). I remember the thought process. "This could go badly
but it'll just take a second, I'm almost finished" and WHAM! When you
hear that little voice in your head telling you to back off...do so.
Regards,
