Default Planer knives are sharp!

I was clearing some chips and reached up and ran my index finger
straight into one of the knives. The blood, the pain. Luckily my
private duty nurse put some Dermabond (superglue for skin) on the cut
and sealed it right up.

The good news is a sharp blade makes a clean straight cut.


Be thankful you at least had the smarts to turn it off first.
