I know it's not "talk like a pirate day," but AAARGH!
I'm working on an inlay kit on a Majestic Jr to donate to a benefit auction. I need to trim down about 1/4" on each side of the blank after gluing the tube in, before sanding to correct length. I normally use my bandsaw on square blanks to trim to within about 1/16", then, pen mill. So, I used the bandsaw for the circular blank. My grip on the circular blank is not as tight as on a square blank (I didn't make a dedicated fixture). I think I have a rough spot on the bandsaw blade; it grabbed the circular blank and caused the blank to commit suicide.
Bad censored words! (Luckily, I have an extra inlay kit. Just need to buy an extra tube.)
More bad censored words...
Just wanted to vent a bit, and express to you all that when you're doing something a bit outside of your routine, take extra caution & think about maybe building a fixture if you think you need to.
Best,
