Ohhh... dangly cords, loose clothing, leaning over the chuck whilst it's rotating...

As a gentleman of Steve's home state once said to me "stupid is supposed to hurt"

The operator is using up his 99%

Like the burnisher though

That video was like a checklist of what not to do with rotating machine tools.

I think it would be relatively easy to knock one up on a lathe. Got me thinking now!

I watched a 14 year old get his scarf (that we all told him not to wear but he did anyway) get caught round the axle of a 2 stroke racing kart coming out of a corner.

After we realised his neck wasn't broken, he got the mickey taken something wrotten for weeks and never lost the name 'Redneck'. I've never seen a friction burn like it.

This is the story that springs to mind when I work around spinning items now.

There are people who have died truly horrific deaths from a sleeve being caught on a work piece between a chuck and tail stock, bones and flesh only slow those motors briefly on a full sized lathe. Something I keep in mind every day all day at work!

Nice little idea for quick burnishing though, just lose the damn hoodie first!
