Is this real, or just >a test to see who was paying attention?! No, it really happened. He had a large, frozen block of hard cheese (I believe it was Parmesan) that he couldn't cut with a knife, so he thought the band saw would do the trick. He was right -- the cheese immediately fragmented into tiny pieces. Unfortunately, he was pushing the cheese with his hand, using as much pressure as one would use to push a piece of wood. As the cheese gave way, his hand followed it right into the blade. It completely cut off his index finger and went halfway through the next. Another example of the failure of the American educational system: not once was he ever told in school not to cut cheese with a band saw. (I'm sure they cover this in Canada.) -- Robert L Mathews, Tiger Technologies "The trouble with doing something right the first time is that nobody appreciates how difficult it was."
