Since I do a lot of metalworking at work, I've learned early on to never use my hand to sweep away the debris from my work area (metal shavings can be sharp or hot). I try to do the same at home, and yesterday was a good justification. Cleaning up after using a large pattern bit, my brush caught the edge of the cutter (the router was off) and the cutter was sharp enough to take a nick out of it. Even when the power is off, cutters can get ya.
Just some food for thought,
