Safety
Remember that a carving tool that can remove wood can also remove flesh. Keep your hands away from spinning cutters. It's good practice to carve along the grain and try to avoid removing material too quickly, which can cause the tool to slip. When working with larger tooling make sure to clamp your project down. Avoid loose clothing or hair, which can get caught in moving bits. Power carving can produce flying particles, so it's important to protect your eyes. The dust produced is not good for your lungs so avoid breathing the dust and make sure the air filters are turned on.
