@Shannon, please make sure to update the tool page with a “what not to do” with lessons learned from this - something like making sure the fence isn’t too far forward. I’d like for us to get in the habit of documenting what went wrong when a mistake happens to hopefully prevent more in the future. As always, mistakes do happen and thank you for making a post about it and bringing it to our attention.
