Oh yeah, those sharp edges on thin sheet metal make some nasty cuts.

I have never been hurt by a power tool.... just sayin'

Hmm, I don't feel like a clutz after seeing your experience. By the way, was that your first day on the job.

perceived danger: probably the planer.

actual danger: razorblades on the floor... I've had several freak accidents involving that.

Besides myself, I would say the chisel and the shaper. I also think the bandsaw is deceptively dangerous.

While they may not be machines, these are my most dangerous items in the shop.

They are scary sharp, and have to stay that way, an Indian Gurkha would be proud of them. I have had cuts that I did not know, so clean were they.

The special put together First Aid kit is always near by and the Kevlar glove is a must. because carving is relatively new to me, it is easy to forget and hack away which will normally come to grief.

The other dangerous thing is the Tungsten carbide grinding wheel that attaches to an Angle grinder. It is a wood eater, but partial to human flesh also.

I would say when not using your brain the table saw can be the most dangerous.. I'm not just referring to being too close to the blade. when a little scrap piece slowly makes it's way over to the blade only to catch one tooth and send the piece off at 90 miles an hour toward your face.... Those moments make you stop and think for a couple minutes..

RAS has is hands down.
