reible wroteI for one commented to the user and gave him the link to the PTWFE and invited him to join us here at the forums. I don't know if he has but he now knows about both. He did comment back so I know he knows.

For those who are still wondering about the tilt of the fence wonder no more. This link takes you to the section in question with pictures and verbiage:

This is how I learned to do it and I'm sure most manuals have the same method, pretty universal I would think. BTW the jointer we had at home had no guards, well if it ever did it did not when I knew it. It was a two function bench with small tilting table saw and jointer and a dual shaft motor, which belt you had on which end gave you the tool to use. I have never seen one other then the one we had.....

Anyway please keep the comments civil he may now be one of us here.

Yes, PTWFE shows a very clear picture (as does the jointer manual) of the most recommended tilt direction for the fence. The manual does however make comment about using the jointer with the fence tilted the other way (the way it was tilted when this accident occurred).

The manual reads: Warning: When the fence is tilted backwards work with extreme caution. Hold the stock so it won't slide out from under your hands. Use push blocks to move the stock.

Neither documents says it is wrong to tilt the fence as the OP did. Maybe not wise but not wrong.

I say again: The root cause was an inoperative guard and a secondary contributor was no use of push blocks. If the OP had taken the guard off and set it aside we might well not be talking about this at all. Trying to hold the guard in place set him up for what happened.

I commend him for posting this incident on uTube. Hopefully his doing so will save many others from his fate.

I do hope 'he' is amongst us so we can help him prevent a repeat performance with a different function.

Yes I was blunt with my previous post. I feel bluntness was preferable to glossing over.

OK, it's not Youtube, but it does rate.

Netflix, NCIS episode 10-5.

Tenth year, fifth episode.

Light, and the jigsaw.

No Speed changer, or the

elusive jointer. Even has the

mortising hold down,

Yes, worth every penny of the

$269.00!

But, so far, Jethro only uses it as

a "coffee" table. (Coffee being

single-malt Scotch!) Jethro and

Illya Kuryakin having a beverage.

Turning a bowl on a Shopsmith.

It seemed like the Mark5 was shifting around a lot, but I decided that, as he was sitting, he had probably left the wheels down to make it easy to change position.

Two videos. First shows them getting

a Shopsmith.

Second video, organizing the storeroom.

A new video from Chris Neilan :)

FYI, the pallet in this video was clean and chemical free, having been made for Coca Cola to carry soda cases! They have a local plant nearby and this one got away somehow :D

skou

OK, Chris, I'll bite.

Where did you find a "chemical free"

pallet?

And, if it is "chemical free," how did

you get it to show up on video?

Every thing you can see, is made out

of chemicals, including you, me, and

your pallet. Only thing I can think of,

that isn't chemicals, is software. But,

software can be delivered using

chemicals. Think of an operating

system. It isn't made out of chemicals,

but the disc it is on, IS chemical.

OK, I am getting extreme here, but

it does bother me, when grown

adults don't know what chemicals are.

Now, hazardous chemicals, that is a

different story, and I think that is what

you meant.

So your chemistry is limited to formaldehyde? ;)

ChrisNeilan

Well, that too!

YES!

Most steel, and Cast Iron have carbon in the mix.

"Organic" used to mean, a molecule containing

carbon.

Now, "organic' can mean ANYTHING!

I saw a small bag of ROCKS to decorate

a planter pot, and the label said "organic

rocks!" No, wasn't coal.

The one that REALLY set me off, was a bag

of cat litter, made out of compressed pine

sawdust. Made by (likely for) Arm and

Hammer. Label said 100% CHEMICAL

FREE! (The bag, and EVERYTHING in it,

100% Chemical!

Obviously they meant the rocks were grown with out fertilizer of pesticides. ;)

"Even though vitalism has been discredited, scientific nomenclature retains the distinction between organic and inorganic compounds. The modern meaning of organic compound is any compound that contains a significant amount of carbon—even though many of the organic compounds known today have no connection to any substance found in living organisms."

Ron, you crack me up! :D
