Title: Wood cutting tools on hobby king
Post by: Dane Martin on January 17, 2018, 08:31:54 AM
I'm not a promoter for hobby king, but I got an email with an ad for some woodworking tools. It's a DIY chop saw and table saw. Might be something to look into.

Neat, useful little tools.  Now a bit of parental paranoia.

Tempting for adventurous, little kid fingers, though.  If you get them, do secure the tools and sufficiently teach (threaten) your little ones so they are aware of the risk of injury. 
To children, little tools = kids toys (safe).  These tools could promptly maim them.

I was gifted some similarly cool little Dremel brand mini table saws and other tools and admonished by the giver to be very cautious with them around my small children.  First thing when I got the things plugged in, the curiosity of my children was demonstrated (without injury) and a good teaching/warning conversation ensued.

Agreed. My kids are 6, and they love wood working tools (supervised of course). And you are correct in that, these do look like little toys. Best to keep them tucked away until the kids are a little older!
