Sliced my finger open on a brand new cabinet door at a job in Phoenix

Was installing some custom shaker doors for a kitchen remodel last month. Everything was going smooth until I grabbed a door to hang it and my hand slipped on this razor sharp edge from the router. Blood everywhere on this white painted door. Client walks in right as Im trying to wrap my finger in blue shop towels. Ended up needing 4 stitches at urgent care. Worst part was the door was my fault for not breaking the edge with sandpaper before install. Anyone else have a close call with sharp edges on CNC cut doors?

Routed edges on MDF will get you every time if you don't hit them with a quick sand.

Calling a light sanding "getting you every time" seems a bit dramatic, @michael_jones.
