Here's the problem. Last November I bought a new X5 Unisaw. Works great. Got the zero-clearance inserts for the WWII blade AND the Dado stack. Needs to be waxed at least once a week. I use Briwax. It seems every time I wax it up I nic myself on the ledge between the fence and the table top. The first time I left a nice chunk of flesh. Subsequent waxings have resulted in a painful little scrape here and there. Now I remove the wax as if i'm trying to steal the Hope Diamond from the Smithsonian in broad daylight.
So This Feb I got me a spanking new Grizzly G0490 Jointer. Works great. Got it all set up and joint away. But when it's time to wax that beautiful bed, I catch my finger on the only rough edge on the whole stinking machine...the edge on the right side of the fence about one inch up from the table. I'm rubbing and buffing and rubbing and buff...HEY where did THAT blood come from?? Left a decent chunk of flesh there, too. Fortunately it was from the other hand as the skin graft just took hold on the original slash on the X5.
So it seems a tool's not a tool until it's been christened in blood. Here's my problem: Just got a 12" Metabo Compound Sliding Miter Saw. Should I just pinprick my finger and offer up some blood on the turntable before I ever turn it on?
