    If I had taken the first hint and used a larger piece of wood my right index finger would be 100% today instead of around 94% here.

    And my insurance wouldn’t be out $20K in doctor bills.

    Oddly enough; I knew all about the other tips.

    I may add that like in my case, the router may give you hints that things are not going well. STOP! Take the hint, stop and think things through - I did, but not quite enough. Could have been worse though.

Got something to say?
