Re: Work related accident resulted in death
I'm a machinist: This is why I *never* wear gloves or a long sleeve shirt, when turning. These things can bite you so fast and, quite clearly, they *always* win. |

Re: Work related accident resulted in death
big lathes like that ( and a big workpiece as evidence of the use of the tailstock for support) is serious business.. HUGE amounts of inertia are generated.. even at low speeds ( like with hard metals like stainless or titanium.) looks like steel.. probably had a few thousand RPM dialed in. takes about 10 seconds for one to stop at that point. ... used to be a machinist myself. |
