  • Horrendous. But I’ve used a planer and it seems safer than a table saw to me. Except for the fact perhaps that you can’t easily tell when it’s running.

  • I used a planer and picked it up before it stopped running. I sliced 3 fingerprints off, lots of blood and lost all sensation in said fingertips for 6 months or so. Luckily it all came back to normal and the fingerprints grew back with virtually no scarring.

    Gained a newfound respect/fear for spinny sharp things after that. Don’t use tools when stressed and tired.

  • That would be a hand held electric planer. The one we’re talking about here is a shop machine. I’m glad your fingers recovered.
