Thread: Learning material recommendation

Hi there,

I was wondering if someone has any tips of good books or videos about learning how to properly use some power tools. I'm not the over zealous type, indeed when young I had some fun running with an aluminium external antenna on a rainy day.

However I believe that any powered blades deserve respect. )

What I'm trying to achieve is understanding about operation and safety.

Reading about spindle moulders I see a lot of people saying "these are some of the most dangerous machines" but I confess I have trouble understanding how can it be far more dangerous than a table mounted router. Am I missing something?

Same thing with table saw. A lot of people talk about the danger of loosing a finger but sincerely I don't see myself putting my fingers too close to the blade so I found it more interesting to learn about kickback.

I thank you in advance.
