I personally don't see a problem in any of these pics. At least the
operator appears to be concentrating on the task at hand. In fact, the only
time i ever use a push stick is for ripping narrow pieces with a TS. I
would rather guide things with my hands if possible, but i run WW machinery
for a living, and am comfortable with that. I DO pay careful attention to
where my fingers are in relation to the danger areas.BTW, I still have all
my fingers attached and intact! --dave

Can YOU pick out all the safety hazards in these photos?

Check out all the router table action with no push blocks or
sticks,
hands inches from the bit.


You scare me Larry. I didn't see a picture there where they were
doing
anything unsafe. Push sticks on a router table is not one of the
best ideas
I've ever heard. Hands inches from the bit? Yeah - it's called
woodworking. It requires control in order to be safe. Look at what
they
are routing and suggest a safer alternative.

You guys serious? I'd shake your hand if you had any fingers left.
You don't think this is a problem?
