| | | | 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.
