Exact same scenario with miter saw and a tiny piece of zebra wood I was trying to cut into knife handle blanks. Only difference is, I did it not once but, twice. How I have fingers on my left hand, I will never know. It crushed the aluminum fence beyond repair. I had to get a new saw as well. Not even a newb either.


You apparently don't have one, or access to a band saw since that would be my preferred method of cutting blanks for knife handles. Besides, you'd not have as much waste going to saw blade thickness with those thin bandsaw blades.

Don’t have one, have access to one, or have room for one. I agree 100% band saw is the way to go. I retired my knife making hobby pretty quick, bc I don’t have the necessary tools or the time to dedicate to make them.
