Subject: Pietenpol-List: Table Saw SafetyI just thought I'd kick this out there to everyone making all that sawdust. Last Thursday, a buddy of mine cut off the tip of his left thumb, just below the thumb nail, with a Table Saw. Those table saws have lopped off more digitsthan any other power tool. Just stay out of that Red Zone with your fingers !!Chuck G.________________________________________________________________________________Date: Mon, 13 Sep 2004 08:56:03 -0700 (PDT)

yes... be careful! The word I first think of when I think of table sawsand other dangerous power equipment is.... RESPECT!You absolutley must respect equipment like that. Treat it like a breathing,living being that is capable of eating you for lunch. The minute you loserespect for the machine is the exact minute you lose a body part.My grandfather lost 4 fingers over the course of 50 years. His firstaccident happened when he was in his 30's. Then 3 yrs ago my dad gotwhacked pretty good while working on his Celebrity.... he was 51 yrs old.so.... I figure by reason of simple math and genetics, I am good to gountil I am about 70 or so before I get bit.... hehehe.... but of course Istill respect the saw...... and the drill press, lathe, router, yada yadayada.DJ----- Original Message -----

Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Shop safety / was Table Saw SafetyWhen I was a young TV news report many years ago, I covered a story of a poor fellow who was killed when the tank on his air compressor blew up. I was reminded of my tour of duty in Vietnam. Shrapnel went everywhere and this guy suffered a painful, bloody death. When I arrived at the scene, I thought Charliehad fired a mortar into this guys shop. The moral of this tragic story is to DRAIN your air tank every day and don't let water accumulate in the tank. (Forthat matter, don't let water accumulate in your Air Camper either, or you'll end up with a rotted out fuselage. Either way, rotted fuselage or rusted tank is a recipe for disaster.S.B.________________________________________________________________________________

Yeah, one of the most bizzare accidents that I heard of when it comes tocommon tools that we can use every day is,,,If you read the dangers on thepackage of one of those long drill bits ( about 18" or so) ""Don't use in adrill press"". The bit isn't strong enough to stay straight at high speed.It instantly bends to become a big propellor right about at throat level.Wouldn't know what hit you.walt evansNX140DL----- Original Message -----
