Jazzcnc comment stuck with me and I felt kinda insulted by it.
Afterwards I spent many hours reading forums and manufacturer specs in fear of duplicating many of the stupid/repeat questions already asked, it dawned on me, what kind of person is going to stick their hand infront of a drill bit when something goes wrong? instink dictates that you would pull the plug in the event of the estop failing.

No matter how many safety features are employed, the above will still happen unless a trip switch is fitted on a enclosure door, NOT mentioned in all that I have read so far
