| you say it is the machine that is dangerous, but is the operator because on fridays at college in the workshop we have school kids come in and all ways leave the chuck key in the chuck, and every once in a while they forget to take the key out and turn the machine on. another one was a kid that got kicked out thankfully, changed a chuck but he didn't do it propaly and as he turned it on it got up to speed and then went flying in to the air and landed the other side of the workshop.
the last one is swarf as my brother as he was using a lathe, he put his hand down on the cross slide and there was a bit of swarf that went from the piece of work and went under his thumb and it cought and wraped around the piece and put a cut 1/2" long down to the bone. |
