    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
    Well please don't be insulted that wasn't my intention. At same time I won't appologise for what I said because it's true and does happen.
    No one would intentionaly stick there fingers in front of something capable of chopping them off but yet these things still happen.? Why!!

    Because there brains don't engage quick enough and the desire to save there expensive cutting tool overides all rational thinking and before you know it there little piggy's are in there.!! They didn't think about the fact the spindle might grab there baggy Jumper and start pulling them into the machine.!!!

    This is what goes thru there brain at that moment it grabs them.!!

    " Oh shite can I reach the E-stop!! . . . .YES. . . . . Argh Hey . . . why's it not working???? . . . Oh because I'm a Stupid idiot and couldn't wait and do it right or too tight to buy a £3 Relay. . . .Can I reach the Plug or Cabinet door.? . . . NO. . . !!!!!!!!." At this point the pass out when there finger drops off.!

    Sounds a little Dramatic hey.! But the missing part of my little finger can re-assure it's not and thoughts exactly like that will rush thru peoples brains when it happens.!

    Safe E-top system isn't limited to one E-stop and there should be several depending on machine. In any case the E-stop should always be with-in reach of the user while at the machine or on the machine.

    Again don't be offended just be sensible and do it right.!

    Look at my Pic and you'll see wires etc coming out back of door. These ON/OFF, Reset and E-stop. I also fit E-stops on the machine it's self, sometimes 2 or 3 on the machine depending on size. If really large long machine the Rope e-stop would be used.
