WARNING: The drill press is one of the most dangerous tools! Here's how to use it safely.

I have long said, the drill press could be the most dangerous tool in the workshop, mainly because most people don't think of it as a dangerous tool, but they are geared so LOW that when they start drilling or turning, nothing can stop them so if you are hand holding while drilling into something, especially with a large Forstner or hole-saw bit, and that bit grabs what you are drilling into, you have NO chance of holding that, it will twist your wrist, arm, and fingers and can and does, result in injury. The best way to solve this is to use some sort of fence system on the deck of your table saw and this drill press safety video outlines a few different options to consider from DIY fence systems to commercial systems.
