Bandsaws are relatively well behaved compared to table saws, jointers,

and fling it the way some of the other tools will.

I have been banged up by my drill press as bad as anything when things
work their way out of the vice and start spinning around.

Yup. Done that too. When I had the business I used to like to
occasionally use some of the machine shop equipment for "home projects".
Always got the machinists nervous when they saw me walking out in the
shop with a hunk of metal in my hand. They usually just asked, "what do
you want me to do to it" and took it away from me.
