Yes, tetanus shot and proper cleaning. I also need a new B&T items and those aren’t cheap!

Dip in Acetone. Scream. Wrap in Scotch 33 black electrical tape. Go back to work.
Any good welder can fix it if my suggestion doesn't work. |

Trim it and clean it again.
Already mentioned, but bacitracin or similar will help it close much more quickly and cleanly. If you can’t resist the temptation to use it and keep banging it, splint it. Just take a popsicle stick or tongue depressor, cut it to length and clean up and round the cut end. Cover it in medical tape and then lightly tape it in place to immobilize the nearby joint. This will prevent you putting pressure on it and it will also speed healing. I do this when dressing most fingertip issues. Not strictly necessary, but it will protect the injury and speed healing. |

I blew up my first sawstop brake this week on a piece of foil backed OSB. Didn't even occur to me to think about conductivity, and I've used bypass mode to cut aluminum many times.
Inventor being a shithead aside (they're owned by the festool parent company now anyway) I have no regrets whatsoever about that purchase and it's a fantastic table saw in its own right. I was surprised how quiet the brake going off was. I immediately recognized my mistake, but it was just a fairly muted "pop". I wasnt anywhere near the blade (I was squaring up at an 18" section of the material) but I had expected it to be louder. |

Hospital for that? Shit, I've played three whole quarters with worse.

Quoted: Is your blade fucked too or do you just need another cartridge? I've been thinking about getting one. View Quote I've heard you can reuse the blades, but it was a shit blade on its last legs that I put in solely because I was intending to cut up osb so I wasnt interested in trying to salvage it. I'm not sure I'd want to chance it, but at the same time it just aluminum after all so it's honestly probably fine. I'll probably hang the cartridge and blade up on the wall as a reminder to not be a fucking retard. |

That would slow me down long enough to wrap some tape around it.
Really, OP? |
|
Wash thoroughly, pat dry, apply silver based antimicrobial, wrap with band aid, change daily
|

I wouldn't go to the hospital. I'd probably clean, wrap with gauze/bandaid, some triple, and tape (not really tightly) and be thankful it wasn't worse
Ran a cutting wheel into my index finger one time, thankfully it didn't hit bone or a tendon. I just kept it clean and wrapped up and monitored for infection and joint movement. Turned out just PEACHY |
|
A little hand sanitizer, have some pickled jalapenos, and throw some mud on it.....you'll be fine.

Stick a soldering iron in it and count to 5. Carry on with life.

Hydrogen Peroxide, antibiotic cream, vitamin E gel, gauze, tape.
Super glue is for cuts, not chunked out gouges. |

I was expecting something graphic and nasty. That’s just a minor cut. Clean it, neosporin or bactine, and bandaid it.

Thats Urgent care worthy, I wouldn't go to the ER and subject yourself to the wait with a bunch of pansy sick people around. Youre likely to get what they have while youre there.

Treatment would be more table saw. Just cut that bitch off and take it like a man.
|

Shop towel (the blue ones) and either duct tape or electrical tape. Then get back to work.
That's what I did when I hit mine with my thumb. |

Quoted: When does sawstop's patent run out? I'd like to upgrade table saws then. View Quote The SawStop patents began to expire in September 2021. Sawstop holds around 100 patents, though many of them are continuations of the early Sawstop patents. The continuation patents may expire later than the "parent" patent due to patent office delays. Some Sawstop continuation patents expire as late as May 2026. https://en.m.wikipedia.org › wiki SawStop - Wikipedia |

First 15mg of morphine
wash with soap and water. test a steri strip and if not enough flex to get it closed, put a cause bump pad on the tip and wrap for protection. Change dressing daily keep it moist with antibiotic cream. Gradually increase the morphine until you are so constipated, that a team of surgeons will have to cut out a third of your impacted intestines. Get a second opinion before it scabs over and need no treatment at all; |

Electrical tape. The colored ones like yellow or red they won't leave a residue.

Bend over, kiss your ass and be thankful you have a thumb on your hand.
Be careful with that saw, it can hurt you, it doesn't care what you put in front of it. Of course, you should know all these things, hope you heal up fast. |
