How does a lathe do that ?? I could see ripping off an arm or something, but damn. That chuck likely weighs almost 100 pounds.

DOOMED, I say. ETA: after reviewing the photos,......that chuck weighs an EASY 100 pounds. Chuck is probably upwards of 150 lbs. and that lathe can probably do 1800 rpm.

Hell, now I don't want to see the pic when I get home!!
Like I stated in my other post, machine tools are dangerous animals. Plus, add in the fact that anyone can buy one (regardless of education or experience level), accidents are bound to happen. And in accidents, I mean some gruesome, gnarly stuff! You simply can never let your guard down, especially with large equipment. I've been dumb a few times with mine and left the key in the chuck, only to have it come flying out when the machine started up. I have learned that stupid nearly always hurts, but you can bet I will never wear long sleeves with my lathe! |

There's more pictures of it out there where you can see the material wrapped around the lathe is his shirts and the chuck actually made it half way down his back. The guy was wearing layers, black sweater, blue shirt and a red undershirt no way he was getting out of that one.
ETA: Here's the rest if you want them.... http://madpicture.blogspot.com/2009/09/accident-on-lathe.html Forgot to button a shirt sleeve while using a drill press once and got snagged but killed it before it hit flesh. Will never make that mistake again. |

I saw a safety video several years ago with pics and video of industrial accidents, this was one of them. Among the others I remember were a drill press that ripped a arm off, coater of a paper machine deglove a guys arm from is shoulder to his fingertips, guy falling in a panel box and a few others. I would not want to call in the first report of injury and log it on the OSHA 300 on this one. I'm guessing this man got complacent in his job and stopped respecting the lathe this caused him to break the rule of not wearing loose fitting clothing around rotating machinery resulting in his death.

Good to hear.[/quote] Coworker brushed away chips from a 10 cutter on a mill . He was wearing welding gloves and it got him. He booked out of the shop to the ER. He left the glove behind it was a chewed up mess. He came back a couple of hours later with a finger wrapped.The lucky bastards glove came off and he barely got his ring finger, it was shortened by about an 1/8 of an inch. I've worked around buckets that if they fell on someone the only way to clean it up would be with a mop. |

an engine lathe vs a man turns out to be roughly the same as a 50HP 540RPM PTO shaft vs a man. in both cases you need a snow shovel and a mop to clean up.
I remember several years ago, my dad borrowed a PTO powered log splitter from a friend of his to run off a Ford 3910 tractor. For those who've never run this type of splitter, its simply a corkscrew style that basically drills into the log while holding it against a metal bar. Once it threads far enough into the log, the log splits open. Talk about a dangerous piece of equipment!! I remember us hooking it up to the 3-pt hitch, all the while thinking to myself "damn, that does not look safe". Not only was it dangerous, but it was some heavy work. Every log had to be lifted and pushed against the screw, which is doing its best to grab the log (and you) to spin around. I hated that contraption! Horizontal and vertical hydraulic presses are infinitely safer and easier to use, and I refuse to even touch one now. Hell, are they even still legal? |

Yeah, I'm fairly certain that the little 10x22 I have would crack a bone or tear off some skin if you got stupid with it and the belts were nice and snug. |

A guy at work nearly/maybe lost his hand a month ago in a lathe. He was polishing a metal shaft with crucus cloth wrapped around his fingers while wearing gloves. The crocus cloth got caught, and pulled his fingers apart...
His coworkers looked for his fingers for a long few minutes, but hospital told us later on all his fingers were accounted for. It really shook up the mechanics as the guy was a long time employee and fairly popular. |
