Power tools are an essential part of carpentry and DIY. They make all of our work possible! But they must be handled responsibly or they can result in terrible injury... These are the 10 Power Tool Mistakes you ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO AVOID! There are many other power tool mistakes, but these 10 are amongst the most common, and the most harmful. This video from The Honest Carpenter will show you exactly what they are, how they work, and how to avoid them. Please note: This is just an instructional video. Any power tool work you carry out is at your own risk! This list includes circular saw mistakes, table saw mistakes, miter saw mistakes, and even drill mistakes. To make this video, I had to do things with my power tools that I would normally never do. DO NOT ATTEMPT THESE THINGS. I only did them to illustrate exactly what can go wrong. Because being able to see problems like this makes it much easier to understand exactly how power tool mistakes occur. Enjoy the video...and always, always: BE SAFE WHILE USING POWER TOOLS. Thank you! The Honest Carpenter
