When I was a kid, I was working for the summer in my Uncle's machine shop. I was on a Bridgeport making some cuts for the feet on wheelchairs (the part you rest your feet on). The parts would go into a jig but not get viced down. I had been cutting parts all morning long with no problems. I got laxed, tossed a piece into the jig and started the cut without making sure the part was flush on the jig. The part caught the bit and became a big propeller and wacked my hand a few times. No damage, but made me respect the machine after that.

I always keep my foot on the Brake Pedal when I am hands on with the lathe.
Not sure it would help if running at high speed, but If I am snagged and pulled towards it for some reason, my weight shifting forward onto my foot would hit the brake and stop the lathe. How much damage would already be done at that point? I don't know. But I have seen someone get snagged in their lathe when I was in school. Luckily... he had his foot on the break, and only lost his sleeve (No blood was drawn, but one second longer and it could have been really bad). I was also on a smaller lathe (doing barrel work) threading, polishing, crowning and such. Not quite as powerful as the lathe that appears in the picture, But potentially just as dangerous. |

Theres another pic floating around thats just as bad.

Quoted: Wearing gloves while machining, other than operations like grinding, is stupid imo. Sure it will protect you from little cuts but it leads to people with missing hands/arms etc. I've used them quite a big. I'm not too fond of getting red hot chips down my collar or thrown into my face(I have had them melt to my safety glasses/lip/neck/arm/etc.). Always seems to happen right about the time the feed needs to be disengaged too.  |

Not a machinist myself, but do a lot of hobby work with metal. Stainless sure as hell sucks to work with, especially in your garage when you are limited by budget and consumer grade tools.  I've found that even 1008 mild steel is irritating to drill because the chips are usually long and stringy. Whatever Jacobs uses for its arbors is a joy to work with. I had to drill an arbor to insert a cross pin for wedges to remove my 14N chuck and drilling that steel was like drilling C360 brass. I once had to drill 304L bar stock with a hand drill and it produced small chips, but now in a drill press I often get long curlies no matter what type of point and feed pressure I use. 
Sorry for the hijack.

Quoted:
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. NEVER use gloves around a moving spindle or blade... We just had a know-it-all project engineer/follow up guy grind half of all 4 fingers off by wearing gloves while using a disc sander at work. The glove caught and dragged his fingers into the gap between the 24"disc and the table. The force moved the table out a little and he was stuck there until someone came with a wrench and removed the table. His skin was melted into the sanding disk....

This is what mostly likely happened on the lathe incident.
1. He was turning that solid round bar at high speed. 2. Whats known as a "Curly cue" started to develop. (This is a long sharp steel shaving that starts to grow as your cutting into the bar). 3. As the curly cue grew he leaned over to break the shaving with his glove. 4. As he whacked the curly cue with his glove the shaving caught onto his glove (probably started to snag it or rip it or both). 5. As he leaned in more to pull his hand out of the way since the shaving was wrapping around his hand his left shoulder leaned into the large chuck. 6. The chuck now caught onto his loose shirt by his shoulder. As soon as as it caught his left shoulder it was able to wrap around the spinning chuck pulling his body into the bar. 7. Once it caught him and started pulling him in getting a firm grip on his shirt it pulled him instantly causing the chuck to strike his head at high speed. 8. For a second the guy knew he was in trouble and panicking might have caused him to lean into the chuck on the left side. On most lathes there an emergency stop pedal that runs along the bottom of the lathe don't know if this one had one though. Nowadays at most machine shops you will see machinist duct tape there sleeves when there working around machine lathes etc especially if there going to be cutting a lot of steel. Also I see machinist use long skinny pieces of solid rod to use to break the curly cue's instead of using there hand which can save you from being cut if it grabs onto you. This is a good picture to learn from so you can see how simple it is to get hurt while working on heavy equipment. |

Sorry for the hijack. When you're drilling, you need to "peck" the hole. You raise the spindle as soon as the chips are longer than you want them and then go back to drilling. Stainless is bad, until you cut titanium alloy or inconel. A hint for your brass drills (also works for ampco aka aluminum bronze as well as regular bronze). Grind a tiny flat on the face of the cutting edge so that there is no positive rake that is provided by the flute. This will keep the drill from sucking into the material. It works very well. It's a necessity on ampco. |
