This blog is meant to raise awareness around safety while working on our passion: miniatures!
Recently I bought a wonderful electrical modelling and engraving tool which is incredibly helpful for many purposes, like cutting, sanding, and engraving.
However, looking at one of its accessories at work, a sharp toothed disc rotating at high speed, made me aware of the potential safety hazards generating from its usage. This involves not only possibly cutting your fingers in a very nasty way, but also getting hurt by bits and pieces of metal flying around (I call it 'shrapnel') and - God forbid- potentially hitting your eyes.
Hence, I strongly recommend you to keep the focus on your work at all times, no shortcuts, and to use protective gear like gloves and (specially when cutting stuff) safety goggles. If a tough guy like me can use them, so can you, snowflake! ;)
Thanks for visiting, and be safe!!

Thank you so much José for this blog post. You can never be too safe among these amazing power tools. Sometimes we do take safety for granted, especially when it comes to our work that we enjoy.
