Just like most power tools with a cutting edge, you have to be awake & paying attention.
I use mine outside the shed 'cos it does spray the chips around but so does a chainsaw, a wood lathe, & an angle grinder.Cliff.
If you find a post of mine that is missing a pic that you'd like to see, let me know & I'll see if I can find a copy.

Thanks for the offer, Pat. I don't travel a lot, but if I'm going by I might sing out and drop in as I pass. I go up to Sydney now and then by train.

I agree with Burnsey, it's the type of machine to be switched on with and have the workpiece secured . . . DAMHIK
Towradgi isn't that far, but too far for my pushbike.
Not that it's very necessary - I'm already convinced that I want a TurboPlane.... Steve

OK, just getting around to it.... here is the piece I used it on.
The timber is a BIG lump of mango, 880mm wide, 510mm high, 60mm thick.
The masks are pottery made by a local artist in Malanda.Cliff.
