nel2lar glad to hear you will be able to retain your finger and the use of it, worst I did was split yhe end of the same finger as you on a table saw, right into the bone, no DR and it works fine despite also being broken when undoing a boomer or bearclaw on a load the boomer twisted as it snapped open and folded sane finger backwards almost flat with the back of my hand, pulloed it straight immediately in my glove and finished my afternoon of work. Doctor said he could not have set it better, it still works but have to be a little careful as it does not straighten out completely. When I was about 10 working round my fathers grain elevator I saw one of the farmers jump off the side of his truck, his wedding ring caught one of the bolts on the wooden truck box, he left his ring finger hanging about 3 ft higher than he could reach. I vowed to be careful and never wear rings or jewellery anytime let alone while at work. As you know poop happens just be as careful as you can. Best wishes for speedy recovery. tom
