Quoted: How does a lathe do that ?? I could see ripping off an arm or something, but damn. That chuck likely weighs almost 100 pounds. At, lets say 660 rpm you are NOT stopping it.....you either get lucky and your "Made in China" shirt shears off..... or you are going in....... Even at 100 rpm....you are likely doomed. DOOMED, I say. ETA: after reviewing the photos,......that chuck weighs an EASY 100 pounds. |

Glove or long sleeve got caught, neither should be worn, ever, and pulled him in before anything could be done. Was he turning something wrapped in a packing blanket  or is that his clothes wrapped around the piece?

Thanks for posting this. I always keep my hand on the e-stop and my foot on the brake just in case.This lathe looks like and older model and doesnt look like it has all the safety features of the newer lathes. Either way it has made me more aware of the dangers of the trade.

Had a friend in junior high school who was killed by an electric lathe in shop class one day.
He was plugging it in and "somehow" got electrocuted. The only way to turn it on or off was to plug it in (either had a defective power switch or no power switch at all). It was never determined exactly how he got electrocuted. Theory was that his fingers somehow slipped forward onto the prongs of the plug after juice had already started flowing. Very sad memory. |

Moving machinery is no joke. I got a gloved hand (stupid mistake wearing gloves) snagged in a 3/8-16 tap and nearly got my hand ripped off. I got lucky and only got a huge abrasion on the top of my hand where it dug into my skin before ripping the glove off.

I can't click the link at work, but I have a good idea of what the pic looks like. Hell, I only have a small lathe (9x36", 120v), but I still treat it with the utmost respect. Big lathes are nothing to play around with, and accidents can happen without warning!

Most things made of metal with moving parts can kill you.
Guns, cars, boats, tools, aircraft (engines), etc. Be careful out there! |

That joke only makes sense if you have no clue how the word 'lathe' and its derivatives are pronounced. It's pretty retarded as a joke even if you have that clue since we are discussing someone who died.

As for the man on the Lathe....yikes. Been in that same tug of war for my hand. Slow turning drill press with a small diameter tool gave me enough time to react. The glove came apart, but the machine never lost it's rhythm. You stand there staring at the machine and the 2 HP rating sinks in. It's a lesson you remember. A person doesn't have a prayer of fighting a machine like that big lathe. The guy in the pics barely had time to stiffen up before getting pulled face down into the protruding chuck jaws. Ugly way to go. |
