The other day I deceided to make my own version of a "Rocket Launcher" tool rack. I was cutting my PVC tubes on my Rikon 18" bandsaw using the fence as a guide for the repetitive lengths of the tubes. I guess my tube was not at a true 90 degrees to the blade and it bound up and shattered. I never knew PVC shatters...IT DOES!!! After getting the crap scared out of me... I realized that I had six cuts on my fingers, a cut on my cheek just below my eye and a cut in the middle if my chest where the shard went right through my heavy shirt (that one bruised an area of about six inches-still sore three days later).
I wanted to share my experience so no one else will get hurt.
