Turned my Jet mini VS off with a spindle between centers. Left an

the spindle revolve at 1500 rpm. Whew! Memo to me and maybe some of you:
Most on-off switches are NOT enough.

Fortunately I'm old enough that all my children are grown. :)


I have a little 2 year old that likes to go into "grampes" shop and play
with the switches on the tools with or without him around so I unplug
everything. Once she can open doors they will stay locked but I will
still leave all the tools unplugged when not attended.
