I still have NFI - had cut some thin sections with the husky, and was making them into chopping boards. Somehow managed to pass the planer over the top of my finger while on max cutting depth...Quote:

took about 5mm off my index finger.
didn't feel that at first. what hurt was the bit of wood that caught
the blade and flung in to my groin.:(
Now that's what I call form.
Post a pic for Matt and give him the finger at the same time.
Wish I had a pic of the time I screwed my finger to the wall.
:D

I shaped surfboards for 25 years with a highly modified planer and never had an injury.
Have all manner of tools and would say that they are all safe if used as per instructions.
Where that is not possible (and let's face it......... it does happen) common sense and not rushing are the most important safety factors in my experience.
Not rushing is common sense.
cheers, DL
No such thing as common sense............
Its just not common enough:DQuote:

The corrugated iron walls behind the big spindle moulder looked as if a shotgun had been fired at the walls. This was from bits of the cutting tool chipping off and being flung through the walls. Half the bits must have gone the other way into the shop, and possibly into the machinist. One day a big flitch of a log being broken down in the sawmill got picked up by the big 48" Canadian saws and chucked through the corrugated iron fence across the road and almost reached our fence.
