Glad to hear you avoided the blade, Jeff. I've reached that age where I mentally walk through each step in a TS operation -- router table, too -- as there are too many things that can bite you and they all happen too flippin' fast.

I was back in the shop tonight, just a few minutes ago my hand almost

hit the TS blade.



I was prepping some wood, and threw the offcut in the bucket, but it

missed. I didn't know it landed one step away. I left the saw running

while I went to pick up the next piece to rough cut. And that's when I

stepped on the offcut rolled my ankle and wound up with my hand inches

from disaster.



Some of you may say I should have shut it, but when doing a lot of rough

cutting I just grab the next piece... but I get it.



Too close for comfort.. My ankle will be sore tomorrow... when the

adrenaline stops pumping.
