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.

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

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.
