I get cut on the back of PCI cards all the time. Those crap little silver thingies sticking up! mad.gif

Nah, but seriously, that sucks.

The worst I've done is when my hand slipped into a spinning Volcano 9...its okay thou, the skin grew back...

if u are every cutting plexiglass, acrylic, or lexan wear long sleeve shirts and pants and gloves. 1 time in the summer i was wearing a t-shirt and shorts and i was cutting a window. A huge . piece of acrylic flew into my eyelid and burned some of my lashes off. LOL!!

So wear protection when cutting anything!!

First rule of modding:
Be safe...

Use the appropriate safety precuations to keep yourself safe..

This coudl include gogles
gloves
long sleeves... etc.

I second that motion becuase cuting metal with a dremel with out glasses isnt fun, and you could screw up your modd from jerking becuase you got somthing in your eye, and it hurts, so wear glass and the acrylic thing is also trew i was cutting some plexi the other day and burned my fingers, ouch, and beware of the dremel, it will cut trough your skin and it will hurt!!!!!!!!!!!

If you work with fast cut tools - necessarily wear glasses!
