10 Workshop Safety Tips to Kick Off Woodworking Season

View web version of this email

This Woodworking Season, Upgrade Your Workshop Safety Highland blogger Terry Chapman sometimes takes Woodworking Safety to an extreme, but we are very serious about safety here at Highland. Here are 10 woodworking safety tips to help you get ready for a great woodworking season. Add dust collection to every machine in your shop that you can. Get a SawStop: It's the safest tablesaw on the market and the best way to make safe tablesaw cuts. Wear eye protection: Even for just that one cut. A chip in the eye can cause major damage! Wear hearing protectors: Avoid unnecessary permanent hearing loss. Wear a dust mask when working with any tool more aggressive than a whittling knife. Use a Micro Jig Grr-ripper for all cuts, and safely keep fingers away from spinning blades while keeping the board under complete user control throughout the cut. Shine a light on your work! Add the Flex Arm Worklight to almost any place in your shop that needs better lighting to see your way to safety. Get an air cleaner for your shop: It will make your shop a cleaner, safer and more pleasant place to be. Read through our Safety Tips Map and think of specific ways you could incorporate more safe practices into your daily woodworking: Where have you been letting it slide? If you have your own safety tip, we would love to hear it! If we publish it in a future Highland Woodworking publication, we'll give you $25 in Highland Woodworking store credit.
