My GF is in the garage, and I don’t leave the garage while it’s going, beyond maybe grabbing a drink or something. That was part of the compromise I had to make with the wife to get it. I usually have a ton of other projects to work on while I’m waiting, though, so I don’t mind staying near it.

I’m so glad someone brought this up. Like most, I watch paper products and cuts standing at the Forge, but I’ve run long, light, unmasked engraves with just occasional check ins. I always feel guilty about not standing right on top of it, but there just doesn’t seem to be any danger with the ones I leave.

So is your furnace. And refrigerator. Both of which have caused many fires and deaths (well, not yours specifically 
)
Well not yet anyway. 
I dunno that I would consider a refrigerator to be a power tool. That might be a bit of a stretch. 
Remind me to tell you about the time my ice maker caught on fire.
