Fortunately, I had just walked past, so the debris flew behind me. With friction drive, if it jams, it slips, but does not shatter. You back off, and return to the cut with a little less gusto.

I wonder why manufacturers go to the bother and expense of providing a keyway if one is not supposed to use it? I normally run slitting saws under power feed, so not much scope for backing off; just be sure to get the feedrate right in the first place. Andrew
