I think we've all had that moment where our eyes grow as big as saucers and we think "what the heck were you thinking!!". I believe it is good to share these moments with others so that they may not make the same mistakes. We all share a common passion and we should try to be each others "brothers keeper" if we can. Articles such as this may keep one person from having a significant injury, and that's why it is important to share. Some folks have too much pride to admit they made a mistake or lost focus for a moment. Not Mr. Kenney. Hats off to you, Sir.

NAIT? Not sure anyone cares.

If you have insufficient skills to be operating power tools or you choose to practice unsafe behaviors, you sometimes get what is coming to you. If "gmoney" feels he has to spend the extra cash to keep from hurting himself, then so be it. But he shouldn't assume that more skilled woodworkers such as myself will be injured. After 30 years woodworking I still have all of my digits so I don't feel the need for that technology in my shop. Practicing safe behaviors, fighting complacency and educating yourself on the PROPER use of power tools is key in my mind. But if you are not confident in your abilities or are a novice, maybe the technology would be helpful.
