Caution ! Power sanders

[Corsair]

Just a quick note of caution. Be careful of power sanders like a spindle sander.
It will take the skin off a knuckle very quickly!

Also, you can get a kickback which can make parts go flying. Please make sure to wear protection for your eyes and I recommend a breathing filter too.

I just sanded enough to draw a little blood and was able to use a small adhesive bandage.

Glad it wasn't worse! Sometimes I think machines have a mind of their own and I've managed to draw blood on all of my builds. Usually, as Will Rogers points out, from improper use of exact knives, etc.!
