Then, based on the given criteria, your answer is non. You do get points,
though, for actually reading and understanding the question. "GTO69RA4" wrote in message ... You're question doesn't quite have an answer the way it's phrased. I haven't hurt myself any of my tools within recent memory, but it doesn't mean they're all at the same danger level. I've always put the drill press, belt grinder, and scroll saw in the "safest tool" catagory. The table saw, shaper, and jointer are the ones to watch out for. Flying and impaled body parts can ruin a good day. GTO(John) What in your opinion is the most dangerous tool in your wood shop, based on the number and severity of injuries you have received, not on what you have heard from other people.

"Ramsey" wrote in message ... I don't consider a sander dangerous at all. Harmful but not dangerous. The machines likely to do the MOST damage are-table saw, jointer, shaper. A sander will burn the fire out of you but it should not ever kill you. He didn't ask which had the most potential - he asked which one has actually injured you. Mine would be Chisel, Sander, 12" miter saw (pulled the wrong plug when I was changing the blade - it didn't hurt me but it cost me a new pair of BVD's) |

Potentially the most dangerous tool in the shop is either the table saw or
more likely the shaper . Free handing a complex piece with a cutter inches away from your fingers, with three HP and goodness knows how much torque powering it is to say the least disconcerting if not bloody scary. In particular when using a collar trying to get the piece on the collar sometimes is difficult enough where you rely on your own strength and fortitude to fight the Machine before the collar can be utilized to take the load.

My grandfather and my father-in-law each lost two fingers on jointers.
Me, I've learned a neat trick --- although the blades on those jointers, table saws, planers, and band saws tend move quickly, they never actually go anywhere! Which means that if you don't put your fingers near them, they can't get you! Push sticks and feather boards are beautiful things. They have successfully kept all my digits intact. But I have dropped a few tools and heavy pieces of lumber on my toes. I have a bunch of black toenails to prove it. (They eventually grow out, but I bang them again and get new black spots on my toenails.) So for me, the most dangerous thing in my shop is my sandals. I could have eliminated all of my shop injuries over the years ('cept for a few slivers) simply by wearing my boots. |

constantly messing around and picking up a hot part, getting slag in my shirt pocket, just having all sorts of "fun". I wish I were a better welder, but practice can be a painful process at times.

"One morning I was called to the emergency room by the head ER nurse. She directed me to a patient who had refused to describe his problem other then to say..." "...then to say..."? Also, the size seems unbelievable. "After I asked the nurse to leave us, the patient permitted me to remove his trousers, shorts, and two or three yards of foul-smelling, stained gauze wrapped about his scrotum, which was swollen to twice the size of a grapefruit and extremely tender." Twice as big as a grapefruit? Maybe not impossible but it just sounds like another Internet tale to me. Oops, another "then" when he should have used "than"... "Convalescence was uneventful, and before his release from the hospital less then a week later, the patient confided the rest of his story to me." This is not the work of a medical doctor (or maybe it is and the typist is actually committing the grammar errors in the transcription process). It is probably someone who is in med school (or dropped out) who wanted to add to the fiction floating around the Internet. "When his scrotum suddenly became caught between the pulley-wheel and the drive-belt, he was thrown into the air and landed a few feet away." Um, excuse me, but physics would not allow that to happen. The force would rip the skin away before lifting 150-200 pounds of human completely off the ground and hurling him a yard away. This is pure hyperbole whether the story is true or not. He may have fell and went in the direction of the pulling instinctively. The site says it's confirmed true by Darwin. Maybe so but I just doubt it due to the grammar and exaggeration contained in it. Apparently, others have "verified" the story but to really do so would require viewing the actual medical records (which apparently wasn't done on that site or the one that lists urban legends and hoaxes). Here's what they say though. Origins: Ow! The above article did indeed appear in the July 1991 issue of Medical Aspects of Human Sexuality, submitted by the physician who treated the victim. We tracked down the doctor to obtain verification [yeah, that's like asking the Pope if God exists] and further details about the unusual injury, and he replied as follows: Dr. William A. Morton, Jr., M.D. 26 February 1994 I am now retired, but submitted the article; treated the patient about 20-25 years ago and have had phone calls from all corners of the U.S. ever since. A xerox is on the billboard in practically every army post, college dorm, men's club, etc. I've had interviews/phone by talk-show hosts, etc. No Phil Donahue yet! The man actually came to me 3 days post-injury when the fever, swelling, and pain of secondary infection frightened him. Though unlikely, tetanus was even a possibility. He was not that impressed with the pain of the moment of injury - it happened so quickly, like losing your fingertip to a band-saw - and was unaware his left testis was probably propelled up into the rafters of the machine shop where he worked. Every man who questions me imagines the initial pain to have been intense, but should realize that once the testis had been ripped out (gasp!) there was not the continuing discomfort one would experience from a first-class kick in the nuts! I saw him again 5 years later in the hospital for a non-urologic problem. Incidentally, the Navy has left xeroxes in every bar along the Mediterranean from Gibraltar to Tel Aviv - my son's girlfriend saw one in Greece 2 years ago. Just because he submitted an article doesn't mean it happened and the timeframe (20-25 years later) is suspicious to me. Just my thoughts. Anybody with me on this? heheheheheheheh Tim |

I have to admit. I get very giggly when I see someone using a sharp pen-knife, or screwdriver to force something. Its not funny exactly, but a feeling of hysteria sets in when I see their hand begin to tremble, jamming the the small metal object at whatever they're working on. I can't NOT watch it, but I feel like covering my eyes still. And invariably it ends up with the implement slipping forward, and the person grabs one hand or the other tightly to stop the bleeding. Sometimes it just results in a bad blood blister or torn off finger nail... Rule of thumb. If you have ANYTHING in your hand that you are applying force to, and any part of you, or the tool begins trembling, start over and find a better way... -- The software said it ran under Windows 98/NT/2000, or better. So I installed it on Linux... "AJS" wrote in message ... "Sweet Sawdust" wrote in message ... What in your opinion is the most dangerous tool in your wood shop, For me, it has to be the humble screwdriver. Three times over the last 25 years, I've put screwdrivers straight through one of my fingers, usually when (mis)using one to remove a circlip. I did eventually learn from this repeated painful experience and bought a pair of circlip pliers.
