Nasty isnt it ! He was only rounding over a corner with a bearing guided bit . Maybe i will PM Dan and ask him to change it to a link rather than the picture , although i think the picture has more clout in making people think twice .

I quite agree about power tools. I built a jig to rout out some grooves in my transom and treated the whole operating as one down from defusing a bomb.
But last week when using an angle grinder to cut some steel tube (one of it's declared uses) it snatched because I hadn't secured the workpiece properly and twisted around, nearly breaking my thumb and lifting my thumbnail - through the leather work gloves I was wearing. It then flew into the air and described a graceful arc before landing, still going, in the lawn.
That's a danger of the click-on switches some grinders have. I was quaking at the thought that it could have landed on my head!
This was caused by my complacency with a tool I've used without incident for years.

OUCH!......Console yourself Lakey, we've all had our [--word removed--] me moments, just that some don't get off so lightly.
Even after all the years I was in the trade, I still hate and fear routers..........They a bloody elemental beasts. Have you seen some of the DIY router tables they flog in DIY outlets? guards made of flimsy plastic and ill designed.
INMHO Routers should be just used as designed, they are not meant to be turned upside down and used as a perishing spindle!
