Maybe next time he shouldn't wear a sweater and touch moving parts...

iirc, that was a suicide. one hell of a way to go, and to piss off the owner of the lathe too.

Quoted: Maybe next time he shouldn't wear a sweater and touch moving parts... Damn straight. Poor bastard. I ALWAYS do the following when working with lathes and mills: Take off key ring, badge chum, safety glasses chum, watch and any damn thing else hangin' on me. Tuck in shirt TIGHT and cinche my belt. I NEVER wear long sleeves, gloves, lab coats or aprons when operating lathes, mills, grinders, polishers, cutters, saws, surface grinders, etc. |

That probably hurt. Backstory? Not for long. He never even knew what happened. |

Machines can be dangerous... even the little ones.
I had a close call with an industrial drill press many years ago... cleaning drill chips away from the bit with leather gloves on. The drill was running but not cutting. I reached under the bit and dusted off the work-piece and just like that... the drill bit caught my glove and started trying to wrap my hand around it. Luckily I reacted instantly by making a fist and pulling away. I actually tore the two halves of the glove apart... but not before the bit put a nice shallow 1/2" diameter hole in the top of my right hand. It scared the fucking crap outta me because it happened so fast and unexpectedly. |

Hmm....
I remember that one. They were showing it around work about a month ago, it was during the machinist training course classes, didn't take them couldn't see the point of making two extra trips to work unpaid, espeically when the round trip is three hours plus for a two hour class over three weeks. |

How does a lathe do that ?? I could see ripping off an arm or something, but damn.

DAMN, not quite what I was expecting, I thought maybe it was just going to be a couple of fingers or a hand torn up, you weren't kidding it being graphic.
Poor guy, I hope for him it happened fast. |
