    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...

    Did a similar thing years ago with a 12" table saw.
    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.

    Reminds me of the time a close friend took the top off his finger on the fan of his car - while employed as a safety manager at Sydney Water!

    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

    IMO spindle moulders are potentially far more dangerous. Although most wood working machinery frightens hell out of me and I was a fitter-machinist quite comfortable with metal working machine tools.

    When I was a kid, our neighbours had a sawmill and joinery works behind their house. I noticed that nearly all the older wood machinists had bits missing. 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.
