re: Dangerous home shop tools

Routers are the one I am most scared of. Using a router table on Christmas day 2023, I was being careless in trying to route a groove and accidentally hit the bit in a climb cut fashion. It grabbed the wood and threw it, my hand attached. Pulled my fingers into the bit. Thankfully, my ring finger went on the outfeed side of the bit and just incurred a nice cut and jacked up fingernail. Had my finger went just 1/2" in the other direction (the infeed side) I'm sure it would have eaten my finger off.
