My arm has been in bandages from beyond my fingers to just short of
my elbow for four weeks. All because I was in a hurry and could not
take the time to install the handles on my 1 3/4 hp Porta-Cable
router while I made just one cut. Alright, I had a 3/4 diameter
pattern bit in it. Alright, I was doing a climb cut (just cleaning
it up).

...SNIP...

I also have had some injuys by not taking the time to set up properly,
however not as serious as yours. But I am learning and getting
smarter about what can happen. WW

Likewise, every near incident and every incident I've every had has been the
result of some short cut I took. Sometimes intentionally, knowing the
risks, and sometimes less intentionally. They've never been catastrophic
incidents - at least as it relates to body parts that are near and dear to
me, and I'm glad Ed's was no more severe than it was. Just goes to show...
