We had someone in the shop get messed up. He was wearing the "mandated" gloves while using a pedestal grinder. The company's solution, was to remove all the grinders from the shop. The answer to the personal injury lawsuit.

We had a lathe incident recently. Young guy now has a useless appendage from the elbow down.

Russia, China, or India? Why bother investigating? Not like there is anything going to be done about unsafe working conditions.

It was a mercifully quick death, at least.

Grandfather was an oilfield worker and machinist. Uncle was a machinist. My HS metal shop teacher told us stories from his career before he became a teacher that scared respect for the machinery into all of us.

Heard enough horror stories there is no need to watch that video...

That's a pretty terrible way to go.

Why on earth did he decide to reach over the machine like that?

People get complacent.
Probably not the first time he did that.

Never had a fatality at my place of work (so far)
But other plants have had. All the ones I knew of were older guys with lots of service years that should’ve known better. They got complacent or looking to take short cuts

Looks to me that his left arm is the one that got grabbed. Not the one he reached over the part with. You can see the guy who killed the power fall apart. He’s scarred for life.

Couldn't really tell on my phone.

It looked like he possibly had a strip of sandpaper and was wrapping it over the shaft.

There is really no other possible reason to reach over to the rear way.

Just think about what this stuff was like back when everything was line shaft drive, and set screws were external square heads on all the pulleys.

View Quote

When I was a little shit I was in a factory or shop that was driven that way.

I have no clue where it was or when, but it is a distinct memory.

Never mind how long ago, because I really don't remember and wouldn't say anyway.

Quite literally. There was what looked like a humerus bone in front of the lathe.

I watched it because you don’t forget things like that and it makes you think twice about doing dumb stuff.
That said I would warn anyone with a weak stomach to not click. That sucked

Lathes specifically, but spinny things in general, will royally fuck you up.

Sweet jesus, rotisserie flank speed ahead! It's almost better that it's so ridiculous, makes it feel less real. I'm glad that wasn't some kind of 4K high speed camera with a zoom lense.

Damnit, I hope I can get that out of my head & fall asleep now. Shit.

Yep. My brother has been a machinist a long time. He told me about a vertical boring mill accident that happened in another shop a good friend of his worked in. The thing did not kill the poor fellow quickly. Guys in the shop heard him begging "Turn it off" several times before they could. Several needed to see shrinks.

I ain't watching that.

When I was taking a lathe class at a maker space, not only did our instructor have us calculate our speeds and feeds, but how quickly it would pull us in and kill us.

Metal working machines are not to be trifled with.

I feel bad for his coworker, the poor guy was dodging pieces of his buddy while he was running around to stop the machine.

Thought he reached underneath it but nope, it was running and he got his sleeve tangled up in it. Even stupider... don't fuck around with rotating equipment.

Poor bastard.

I typed like 4 things and deleted them all. That machine sent parts flying 50+ feet from the looks of it.

Good God. That was brutal.

Posted: 11/21/2020 1:57:12 AM EDT

Didn't watch, but I work in rotating equipment and ran a lathe some while I was on my tools, that machine never even knew he was there.
We had a guy working in one of our contract shops engage a lathe with a pry bar in his work piece, he made two rounds through and it spit him out. Luckily it was a large lathe with a small workpiece where he could pass through between the ways and the workpiece. Broke both arms, one leg, some ribs, and I think his back, all he had left on him was one boot and what was left of his underwear. 6 weeks or so in the hospital, but I don't think he'll ever fully recover. He's lucky to be alive.

Horrible. I once worked at a wood mill that in the course of thirty years there were three deaths on site. One guy fell off the catwalk, and straight into the chipper. That incident was well before I got there, but it was brought up often. A lot of stuff happened there. I caught an intruder one night hiding behind one of the old Bridgeport mills in the machine shop. Anyway, a few years ago a friend of mine was run over by a bus. Terrible way to go.

If its anywhere close to the other lathe video that I saw a few years ago, I already know I don't need to see it.

Worked with a guy at Barrett that had a pony tail for awhile. He was polishing chambers on new arrest before going to chrome.
I kept telling him to keep that pony tail tucked back in his shirt or he was going to get fucked up. He had as.all scare when the chuck grabbed his shirt sleeve and ripped it instead of drawing him in.
He kept that hair tucked into the back of a shirt when around the lathe.

He just quit coming in one day. No one ever knew what happened to him.

We had another guy rip a fingernail off on the lathe while polishing the feed ramp on a barrel
He wrapped the crocus cloth around his finger when told not to do it like that.
