Check that the screw holding the bearing on your pattern bit is tight before you start using it!

Things got a little exciting tonight when, about 90% of the way through trimming a piece using a plywood pattern, the bearing and the bit parted company rather violently. Ruined a $30 piece of wood but retained all of my digits. The price of an education I guess...

Experience what you get just after you needed it...

I got the heebee-geebee's thinking about your accident. Glad you're unscathed by the event.

Another reason to have a cr onsrud inverted pin router- no bearings on the bits.
