Yep. Sawdust and a dousing with DNA is all it needs!

I never felt a thing until I noticed what I thought was red grease on the head. When I realized what it was, *then* it started hurting.
Ah, well, the new shelix head will be worth all the pain.

Thinner'll clean that up real nice. Just make sure the doors and windows are closed to your shop. I don't wanna hear ya screamin' from here.

CA glue works pretty well as a makeshift suture
. Don't laff-I know of physicians that do this.

Yes, they've been using it for well over a decade.

Well Cliff, join the club. It is a daily challenge for me to leave the shop without some type of cut.
Thankfully, they are usually just nicks.When I installed the Shelex type heads on my jointer, I quickly found that the bearings on the ends of the head made great handles. It was a lesson not wasted when I put the same type head on my planer.

Yep, I nicked myself swapping my head out too. And you're right, it will be worth it when you're done.

I was in the process of pressing the bearing out of the end block. It dropped out a second before I thought it would and involuntarily clamped down on the head. When I drop the shelix in, I'm definitely wearing gloves.

And I thought I was the only one too lazy to take out the knifes. It wasn't like I was going to need them in the old head when I was done. I did get through THAT operation unscathed though.

Yep-- just slap a little turpitine on and rinse with some alcohol mixed with salt!!!
Kinda like slapping Tabasco sause on a cats butt!!!!! It'll feel better when it quits burning!! Kinda like eating Mexican food, then wanting ice cream-- come on ice cream!!!! I could go on and on, but I know you feel much better now!!!! |
