I've been a scroller for 38 years. I've had plenty of minor cuts, but you would have to be really dedicated to lose a finger on a scrollsaw, lol

I've gotten burned by a hot blade once or twice and I also wasn't paying attention one time and ran the end of my thumb into the blade. It did a razor cut right on the end. The scroll saws have got to be the absolute safest power tool there is.

Well . . . I lost a testicle to a table saw kick back so maybe just counting fingers is not quite enough.

The Table saw has sent me to the floor and emergency a couple times.  But lucky for me nothing this serious.. I really hope you are kidding.. The worst I have done was 17 stitches to the back of my hand.  I still love my table saw.. Not it's fault that I do stupid sometimes!

I was told that it is possible to cut off a finger on the scroll saw, but you would have to change the blade halfway through.🤣

Just for safety reasons I put my blades in upside down and facing the back of the saw so it's harder for me to lose a finger, 🤣.. safest way to use a scroll saw.. burns through the wood quite a lot slower but they always say if you're rushing that's when you get careless and get hurt. 🤣 safety first...
