Today I was drilling a piece of Ebony on my drill press when the bit grabbed the wood and spun it into my hand, I think breaking a knuckle  I'll have it checked out tomorrow if the swelling doesn't go down.
I just thought I'd mention it as a reminder, you should always clamp your work. It might save you some pain. |

Been there, too. Hope it is not serious. 
That seemed to be more of a problem when I used regular twist bits. I don't have as much trouble when using brad point bits. But I clamp when I can or use a fence so it has something to push against. Ron  |

Hope it is nothing serious, Evan |

Safety is something we all take chances on. 2 of the most dangerous tools are the drill press and belt sander. Not because of desing but use. We just think Oh its a belt sander or Ahh a drill press. I think these 2 tools take more captives as we just overlook the safety issues. NEVER DRILL WITHOUT CLAMPING ALLWAYS USE A SANDING PAD Belt sanders can take skin off pretty dang fast. Think first avoid 911 John Hall PS Still have 9 7/8 fingers |

I had to have it checked out today, It was bothering me to much at my day job. Doc said nothings broke, gave me some heavy duty motrin and said to keep it on ice from time to time. But I've found that an ice cold bottle of Harp Lager works even better.
Yea, it's kind of ironic because I'm known as a safety freak at work. Thats one part of the job I'll start taking home with me. Everybody be safe. |

Like the adaptation of using cold to help heal. I also found that superglue applied to thinned sandbelted fingernails works in a pinch . When you do something stupid , show it off as though you planned it. |
