Ah I mistyped there, jointers are actually what I meant rather than planers! I use hand planes when jointing boards and forget that power planers aren't that fancy.

I don't remember hearing about any serious planer injuries (though I'm sure it happens), jointers on the other hand are more ornery than an alligator with all them teeth and no toothbrush.

I've had knots thrown back at me by my planer before. That was before I upgraded to the DW735 with those power feeders and a much deeper body to keep the cutters further away from the human, though.

I have a reasonably safe checklist and set practice for my jointer and I still don't trust the thing.
