Can you cut the power to the machinery and lock the electric panel door?

Your tools in the shop are on a couple dedicated circuits, right? Then just pull the breakers for those circuits. If they are willing to put the breakers back in to use the tools, then nothing you do will keep them out.

Lots of choices.
Lance, it sounds to me that if you have a stepdaughter that enjoys being around power tools, you have a great opportunity for some really great bonding time....some of my favorite family memories were working around woodworking tools with the adults around me. Take advantage of it!

I have been looking for something similar
I did see a Brass one with a 3/16" dia and 2" length at Mcmaster Carr
Catalog Page 2881 PN 1557A51
MasterLock does make its #7 series (steel) with 3/16 shackles
I have a 2 year old, and another one coming soon, so i have already taken safety precautions so they will not be able to be hurt. <edited by Craig to convey correct meaning, I must have been asleep last night>

The wisest thing in the world is to cry out before you are hurt.
Board-Stretcher 101 : I cut it twice and it's still too short. I don't understand?
This post is disturbing on several levels.
Lance might also look in the “suitcase/travel lock” industry for small locks
I found the following:
From Lewis N. Clark Company (they don’t give dia. dims)
Model 1226 Cable Lock, about $15 from these guys (although out of stock)
If that locks at the tighest setting, this might be a reasable solution to lockout machine switches.

I'm with Mike on this one.
The ladies in your house won't leave your power tools be when you're gone?
Yank the circuits and padlock the panel.
Are you sure that they won't just leave your stuff alone while you're gone? The LOML wouldn't even think of touching my stuff (except for the cordless drills) without consulting me first.
