Oh Oh, I got one --

don't try to cut a coconut on a RAS saw unless it's VERY securily
fastened....

I tried this and my very makeshift jig to fasten it wasn't up to the job of
holding it in place. The result was dent in the wall, a ricocheting
coconut, which did damage to the other side of the shop, and a bunch of
flying coconut milk -- ever tried to clean sawdust mixed with cocunut milk?
Trust me, you don't want to.

Also, don't pick up the cuttoffs until you are absolutely sure the blade

stopped turning. It can make a hole in your finger stitches won't

That's amazing! Same thing happens when you reach over a bench grinder
from
behind to turn it off. Mostly affects little fingers.

I had set a small (3") model on the ways of the lathe while sharpening a
pen
trimmer because that's where the light is best (barely okay) in my 'shop'
in the dungeon.During use of the attached flex shaft it had turned 180
deg.
away from me. So I simply reached over it to turn it off.

When I saw the pink spray, I realized that I had probably not acted
wisely.


No I didn't. I never said that. I would never do anything that stupid.
