Note to self; I must re-enforce my wall in front of the TS.

Used to install kitchens in and around Toledo. We used Kencraft for all our sheet goods.

You mean behind, of course. Doesn't take much more than a 1X8 rough at table height.
Use your wooden fingers from the open side.

Always a good reminder

I had something similar happen a last year. I had just turned off the saw and stepped to the side of the saw to pick up the piece I had cut. I accidently dropped it and it landed right on the blade and shot across the shop about 25' like a bullet. I wasn't in the line of fire, but the second I dropped it, I jerked away so fast because I knew it was going to be ugly. Made of heck of a noise and ruined the project but that was the cost of a little safety reminder.
The hole goes through the drywall to the insulation. You can see three separate damages on the piece - the gouge where it hit blade, then hit the drywall and chipped, and also the edge dent from the lumber rack which caused it to bounce back. I never found the piece that chipped off.

I consider the front of the saw the part I'm facing as I cut. Therefore the wall behind me as I'm cutting would be toward the front of the saw.

My highschool shop teacher did that on the first day of 9th grade shop class, on purpose) with a hunk of 2x4 except it exploded against the cinder block wall. Certainly got everyone's attention right now. Safe to say the TS was the most respected tool in the shop. Nobody walked near it if they weren't the one using it.

Confusing. Me, I figure when the saw is in front of me, I'm behind it. Imagine most folks do know what caused the trouble, though.

That is the way I always thought of it, but I remember a thread that created a bit of controversy a few years ago here on woodnet...
