In line with the tablesaw safety posts I thought I'd add my $0.02 worth on the stupid thing I did today. I was using a sanding drum on my 1 hp. drill press. The drum was pretty close to the same size as the inside of the hole (2 1/8") I was trying to sand. Most of you can see this coming already. The drum grabbed the piece (6" piece of white ash, 3" in diameter) and slapped it into the back of my hand. I don't think it's broken but it sure swelled up to 4 times it's regular size. Lots of ice and I'll see what it looks like tomorrow.
In all fairness, I knew it was a bad Idea when I did it but I was in a hurry and slightly pissed off because I had just exploded the previous piece drilling it out. I know better and today I learned to just quit while I'm still ahead!
