Industrial safety film that dramatizes what can happen when power woodworking equipment is used in an unsafe manner.When I took shop class in high school, we learned about how to use much of this equipment with the proper guards in place, but this film explains what can happen when the guards are not used. I don't remember getting that explanation when I took the class, as using e.g . the table saw without the guards was not an option - by that time, the equipment was designed so that the guards had to be in place for it to be operational.I think this might be a valuable film for users of power tools to watch so that they know why all of that safety equipment is there. Every time I saw the men in this film put their hands anywhere near the cutting surfaces of the equipment, I cringed, because I could see what was coming.
