Router Accidents

Now all you have left is to catch a piece of mdf to the balls thanks to table saw kickback. Happened to me a few years back.

How the hell do you do that? It's got a huge ring that protects your fingers... were you trying to make a cut in mid air?

There is no protection when using a table mounted router //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

I was using a table router, 4 1/2HP motor at 19,000RPM with a 2 inch super rabbit bit.

i had a roundover bit come loose and strike my stomach. There was a little blood, but luckily it didnt go too deep. Took me a minute to figure out if I was ok or not..

Unfortunately being 6'9" puts the testicles at table height.

Thanks for that image. Makes me think of grounded coffee beans.

Haha, I was wondering about that. I'm 6-2 and was figuring you're either a giant or have a low table saw. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

No router accidents, but I have had band saw blades snap in half on me at work, that's some scary shit right here. No missing fingers thankfully, but did get a nice cut when it sent a piece of marrow bone flying.

had my bit fly out and hit me in the gut. Small cut, little blood, but nothing to make a thread about.

The bit.

I don't have a router, but I have had some accidents as a kid......like watching my dad cut the grass through the window all to have it slam down on all my fingers.......I believe the ghost won that round! I was like 5 and remember that like yesterday.

Oh and when I flipped on my BMX bike and my tooth went through my lip, fun times.

Or when I stepped on a huge rusty nail that went all the way through my fat foot! Loved that one.

Or when I almost died in my car accident in 96 and I had so many cuts, bruises and what not.
