Default Fire Prevention

I was using a steel-cutting carbide blade in a Skil worm drive and the
chips were orange/red hot and flying pretty far. I expected that they
would have cooled enough by the time that they landed, but not so and a
rag in the corner was set on fire. Of course I didn't realize it had
happened until I smelled the smoke. Bob
