Default Today's Hint - Don't do things like this

I am sure I am not the only one who carries a portable phone handset to the
garage shop.

I recommend not laying the handset on the belt of your belt/disk sander
station - especially if the switch was inadvertently turned on while the
machine was unplugged.

Just a thought. No particular reason.

Damn!

I know a person (very well, in fact) who did the same trick with one of
those divided boxes filled with different sizes of woodscrews. This person
was very upset.

My bowl lathe uses a wrench to hold the spindle while undoing the face
plate. Remove the wrench before turning on the lathe. Remove the wrench

My lathe has a swivel head, don't forget to lock down the head after you swivel
it into a new position....when you restart it like this, bamb, what a bad
surprise.

Did you know that metalworking lathes have more torque?

They's fast, ain't they? Good think it was only a 20' cord!

(At least that's what I've "heard".)

Gosh. After these posts - I feel better. I thought I was the only one who
did things like this!

By the way, the phone survived in fine shape with a few sander scuffs.
After some sanding in place on the belt it shot it up against the stop, flew
up into the air, bounced off of a wire frame shelf and almost landed in my
hand. No, I am not that coordinated. Just lucky.

Ron that's the reason I have a safety on my lathe that if the power has
been interrupted in any which way it will not start up if you would plug
it back in or turn it back on while it is in forward of reverse mode, I
have to turn of the power switch then set the lathe switch to neutral
and then turn the power back on, seems awkward but it done quick and it
is safe that way.
No I do not have that on my sander, I don't have or want a cell or porta
phone, when I'm turning I don't answer phones, LOML will do that and if
it ever is for me I do get informed, (they can never leave me alone (G)

Have fun and take care

When using your forearm to wind up an extension cord, slow
down for the last couple of feet.

Be sure to adhere EXTRA-rigidly to this rule when winding up the cord
on the hair dryer after showering...particularly if the towel around
your waist isn't snugged up tight (or is absent!).

Every wonder what would happen if you put your jointer knives in backwards,
but were too timid to try it.

Well, it makes setup real difficult and doesn't leave a good edge.

RAS blades take a long time to cut when you ignore the arrow and mount
them the way they'd go on a table saw..
(but for a new table, the cut the fence real good)

I have NEVER unwound only 30' of a 100' extension cord reel and
plugged in a chain saw and then wondered 20 minutes later where the
smell of burning rubber was coming from - after the first time.

Some friends of mine asked me to repair their handheld planer a while
back. They're hippies and are scared of this new-fangled electrickery
business. Apart from the fatal "bite", the cable for the planer had
at least six oval scoops missing from it, two of them wrapped in brown
parcel tape.

I dropped a generous glob of Nitromors (Paint remover) on my lap. When the
chemical eventually reached my crown jewels there was no time for
contemplation. I rushed headlong straightaway into the kitchen, dropped my
Jeans and y-fronts, splashed my bare burning privates with water. Such
relief. As the agony subsided I realised I had a spectator. The local
spinster lady was standing in the road, both hands full of shopping bags,
mouth agape.

My father years ago was cutting wood with a power saw, all of a sudden
the saw stopped, he turned round to blast us kids when he noticed that
the power cord of the saw was about 4 inches long.
How the hell he didn't get fried we have no idea because this was
about 81 and the saw was a metail bodied beast.
Cheers
Paul


hey, I've done that to the extension cord on the hedge trimmers a couple of times
