Today is Father’s Day – and my darling wife has bought me my very own drill press:
In fact, having spent the last couple of weeks working on perfecting my garage setup – I was rewarded with various tools from everyone in my family. But the drill press is definitely the thing that I am most excited about.
It came in many pieces – and took a lot of assembly. The thing that has amused me most about it is this:
This is a warning about the sighting laser on the drill press. Now, I have no doubt that there is a government requirement that you have this warning on anything that shoots lasers anywhere. But let me highlight: this laser tells you were the drill will fall. In other words – if the laser is shining in your eye (or on any part of you) the laser is the least of your concerns. The drill that is moving at 2800RPM should be a much greater concern to you!
Cheers,
Ben
