1st place in the "dumbest power tool injury" category

[merrill77]

It is my night off, so I should be getting some quality time in the shop. Instead I am nursing my left pinkie finger which will have no fingerprint for a while. It is somewhat embarassing to admit to injuring myself on a power tool that WAS NOT PLUGGED IN! :gar-Cr

I was moving my Shop Fox mortiser onto its new home on my new mobile boring/sharpening station (pics to come in a few weeks). I picked it up by one slide and the head, just like I did moments earlier with my baby drill press, forgetting that the head SLIDES on the slide :BangHead:. My pinkie got caught in the gear-like grooves. Yoooooouuuuuccccchhhh! I think I _almost_ made this mistake once before...apparently did not learn from it, though.

If it makes you feel any better, I once tried catching a 4"x 13" diameter bowl blank with my face...:BangHead:

My worst shop injury was with a sheetrock knife. :BangHead: Hoping you heal up quickly.

 

[PChristy]

Hope you heal up quick Chris - I am glad that it was not running

Thanks man, now I feel better about hitting my head hard enough to draw blood on the arm of my radial arm saw.

Sorry to hear about that Chris. :tinysmile_cry_t: My worst shop injury was from the end of a pipe clamp of all things. Sounds like we get similar injuries. ccasion1 All the best to you in your recovery. :icon_thum
