Flash! Panic call from my wife at home. She was out in the workshop, heard a strange noise, looked around and behold the drill press was running. Told her to turn off rocker switch on motor head. No response she said. Just kept on running. Told her to unplug it. Finally stopped. Drill press not used in weeks. Drill press possesed? Demons in the workshop? Rebellion of the power tools? What have we got here? Possible new TV series?

Thats why you should always unplug before changing blades/bits; or going on vacation. Sometimes those bad boys love to come on by themselves...
If you build it - HE will come. What exactly have you been making?
I love the smell of sawdust in the morning.
