There's a guy here whose father-in-law owned a saw mill for 30 years. Last few weeks before retirement he took all four fingers off one hand at the last knuckle. Couldn't be repaired.
So yeah, be careful.

Well there is a new and shiney compund mitre saw in the back room. The instructions for adjusting the saw were rough at best but your tip for the 4X4 worked great!
Now I need to pickup a vacuum. That little sucker kicked plastic all over the shop. The little bag on the back serves only one purpose that I can see and that is to advertise the manufacturers logo. It sure isn't for catching the dust...
Aren't power tools fun? Thanks everyone for the tips.

Hi John,
Excellent points and suggestions on the saw setup...I would like to add one point. If you take too thin of a cut for testing on the 4x4, it can deflect the blade messing up your measurements and adjustments. You need to get a scrap piece off the opposite side of the blade (even if it's only 1/4 inch thick) to be sure it hasn't deflected the blade at all.
So, Make sure you create an actual slice of wood not just a slight cleanup cut on the face of the 4x4 and you will be right on with your measurements.
