Thread: Workshop Safety !!!!!

I pretty much say the same in many of my posts when it's about power tools. Safety first.

We should made a sticky note of the dangers involved, what precautions to take and what gear to wear to at least be safe to a certain degree.

The G-Man actually jinxed me, cause when we talked a few days ago he told me what had happened. The next day while I was buffing on my wheels the tinniest compound particle ejected against my safety glasses and made it's way underneath the glasses into my eye.

It just got sucked in. I'm sure Gugi will be able to give a more scientific reason to why but it did surprise me. A combination of pressure and the air flow of the buffing wheel against my glasses I presume.

It just stung, and I consider myself lucky, but it shows that even by wearing some kind of safety gear the unexpected can always happen.

Dan, the G and many other of the pros know exactly what they are talking about. Even Alex cut his thumb up really bad a long time ago and it wasn't a pretty sight either. It can happen to the best off us so who says it won't happen to you.

One word of advise. Don't get over confident and think you're invincible. You're not. Never let your guard down and get to comfortable either when working with power tools.
