About 20 yrs. ago, I got an ultra-close fingernail trim from an industrial paper cutter, just the clamp, they have 2-handed buttons to keep your fingers out of the way of the blade...I was cutting out labels smaller than the cutter was equipped to handle, an unsafe situation ordered by the boss. Caught the left index finger tween the clamp & stock, I pulled it back just as soon as I realized, left behind a little skin & nail...1st thing I noticed was I couldn't feel the tip of my finger...& this is one of the digits critical to fretting a guitar! Fortunately only needed on stitch & some time for the skin & nail to grow back...but of course with my luck about a week later I met a well-known local singer-songwriter & couldn't play any of my songs for her...ratsass!!!
