We were using big engine lathes in the shop.<br /><br />He said that the person who taught him machining died because he was wearing gloves; apparently he also had pictures of someone that was literally torn in half by a lathe (I never saw the pictures).<br /><br />I'd like to get a small Sherline lathe; while it's difficult to see how something like <i>that</i> could kill you, I don't think I'd want to take any chances!Epsilon Givenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16772806403046781521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807403883562053852.post-81717217010730361382011-04-14T09:31:27.800-06:002011-04-14T09:31:27.800-06:00If I remember correctly, when I was in 9th grade, ...If I remember correctly, when I was in 9th grade, one of my fellow students told a story of someone who was operating a lathe wearing a ring, and somehow the ring was caught, ripping the finger and some length of tendon out of the unfortunate man's arm. I don't know if any effort was made to reattach it, but the upshot of the story was that the supervisor and manager took the finger, made a big coil of the tendon, and photographed it as a warning to others. That's also why depending on the operation, work gloves are cloth or leather, with the presumption that if cloth catches in machinery it will cinch and bunch up, while leather won't, and might tear.Windy Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01951254236693386401noreply@blogger.com
