Lathe minutes before sucking arm in

[Dirtroadboyy]

gloves, long sleeves, hes just asking for a bad day!

[GnosisMan50]

He's running it too fast and he's using oil instead of coolant.....not good.

[entropy44]

so wheres the video of his arm getting sucked in

[lostorb12]

@entropy44 google ``lathe accident`` if u REALLY wanna see the aftermath...

[ThomasXp]

@lostorb12 Yippie night mares, jk but really thats nasty,

[Blutquell]

This guy is like

"I like my chips blue"

[Anasazi2006]

Jaha, vad var det egentligen som hände ?

[Biotektan]

why did you mention that his arm was sucked in? Is this some kind of memoriam to your friend?

[klimppiii]

What's the idea of this?

[bddc201]

If you pay attention to what you're doing, wearing gloves isn't that big a deal. I wouldn't let an apprentice do it, though.

[peerless77]

I saw pictures of a lathe which sucked a mans head, neck and upper torso into the lathe. Messy.

[LorKen17021991]

@peerless77 why do you look for such pictures?

[peerless77]

@LorKen17021991 For educational purposes.

[lostorb12]

@LorKen17021991 why did you click this video?

[nibbler125]

you look like one of those retards in my shop class who dont stop till the tooling is glowing

[bubbles1062]

The pictures I found were so horrific. :/

[ninja6kid]

know the ones you're talking about...like a human blender...I printed one off laminated it and stuck it on the wall behind my lathe, so i see it every time i use it, or anyone else that might use it. (though if someoned used my lathe id machine a spike and ram it through their head)

[Lakeworthslim]

Why not show the video of the accident , who cares about what happened before...

[ozzywally]

day one lesson one at trade school, DONT WEAR GLOVES WHILE USING ROTATING MACHINARY> the reson this accident happened is beacuse the operator dosnt know how to use a lathe. find a new profesion mate

[grant0661993]

dude ur dumb go back to ur desk job

[SpeedOfDark186Kmps]

I never wear gloves around mills, lathes or grinders, nor do I use rags anywhere near a spinning spindle. I will use gloves to move metal or to set the metal in the machine, but they come off and are sitting far away from a running machine. If you don't listen to what people tell you about it, then you will probably learn the hard way one day. I had a bridgeport grab a rag out of my hand so fast, it nearly sprained my wrist. Lesson learned.

[kev8338]

why was the tool holder on a angle?

[Supermassively]

Wait, is your friend the guy in all those pictures of the dead dude whose jacket was caught in the lathe?

[Roger674]

Why not use coolant?

You obviously don't know what your doing!

[toreskog]

@Roger674 That's a great observation, since sticking the arm into the lathe did not qualify as proof of that :-P

[123PSI]

@Roger674 If he is using a carbide tool bit (which is likely) it isn't necessary to run coolant. It's fine if you use flood coolant or use cutting fluid initially to help with cutting. Carbide bits work great at high temps but break easy under mechanical or thermal shocks, so you can't just start spraying coolant in the middle of a cut. But this guy obviously doesn't know a thing about shop safety! Gloves AND long sleeves? NEVER!

[123PSI]

I should clarify... if you used flood coolant with carbide bits you want uninterrupted flow the whole time, you don't want to start/stop.

[Wartbug]

@Roger674

cooling is not nececerily, with right and quality tool, no problem!

[normanmachinetool]

what pictures?

[SthealthRaider]

wow Are those pictures real?? OMFG

[humantestdummy]

did he die?

[edj66]

@humantestdummy Look for 'lathe accident' on google. Top result. You could say that he died...

[lostorb12]

long sleeves and gloves is not recommended while operaing a lathe

[newcomer9747]

@lostorb12 It's not just not recommended. I prohibit anyone from going near a machine with spindle with gloves!

[edj66]

@newcomer9747 God...we had similar machines at school and they made us wear gloves I am sure of it...! I think they were on a much smaller scale than this though...boxford something I think they were. Still, makes you nervous...

[markrufino]

why the fuck would u wear gloves........DUMB!

[maltelec]

@markrufino I see you don't work on a lathe. Them bits of swarf are seriously hot (hence the smoke). The gloves are there to catch the swarf in the top thus making sure you burn your hands thoroughly and dance around like a chicken trying to get the glove off.

[StCubathegreat]

@maltelec: If you're not wearing gloves, why would you 'dance around like a chicken trying to get the glove off'. Gloves pose the same hazard that loose clothing does. I'd rather get superficial burns on my hand from a few bits of swarf then get dragged into a lathe.

[Dman40475]

@markrufino Duh, its a new technique, you run your work with no oil so you effectively heat treat your piece while your machining it! He needs the gloves to handle the newly heat treated metal!!! Brilliant!

[ZdenekJindra]

@Dman40475 Well, I did read that it is possible to take a quenched piece out of water so soon that the ardent inside core will temper the outside layer.

[footballer2012]

Gloves.. not ideal while running a lathe.

[moderncompat]

This is really dangerous tool

if it suck your arm in im 100% sure if it doesnt kill you it will take your hand off

and this isnt a joke ...

[arvhhhkk]

@moderncompat

search for the pictures in web ;)

you will find THIS accident ...

just tipe in ''lathe accident''

[moderncompat]

@arvhhhkk Omgf I dont Want i knnwo how Much There is Power On the Lathe

So No Thanks

[Scrap5000]

@arvhhhkk OMG!!!! And that site also has a meat grinder accident...HOLY SHIT!!!!!!  AAAAGGGHHH

[edj66]

@Scrap5000 I just looked at that, and I'm just in a state of confusion...! Did it twist him round the bar or something?

[Scrap5000]

@edj66 YES...they think that he was using a metal file and filing, since it's seen in one of the pics, and that he probably had loose clothing on & the sleeve caught on the chuck or the bar and it just pulled him right in and he got all twisted up and the chuck whacked & chopped him to pieces.

Many people do not realize that the bar is usually pretty rough from the cuts, and it has a lot of "grabbing" power, like sandpaper, and anything that touches it will get wrapped around it VERY FAST!

[bikerusl]

Whats so bad about this setup anyway? How did the arm get sucked in. Looks like coolant would be nice and maybe a guard but... don't put you arm in it? If there is something I'm not seeing please educate me.

[MrSlaughter9000]

@bikerusl The guy was wearing loose gloves when really he shouldnt be wearing gloves at all. Thus when he put his hand over the lathe it probably got sucked in like a vacuum and there ya go. you have no reaction time. If you get caught, your dead.

[william4art]

You have to have the mentality that the cutting tool may break at any time and fly in your direction. In cut quality checks should always be kept to a minimum. It is hard to keep them at a minimum with the feed it as fast as physics allows mentality that employers are trying to shove down your throat these days... like safety doesnt even matter. Hope your arms ok

[william4art]

NEVER WEAR GLOVES ON A LATHE OR DRILLING MACHINE OF ANY KIND!!!!!! NO LONG SLEEVES

[giannipoopoopants]

fuck these machines i used them in high school for wood and metal class all the time and they are brutal. people who slip up can end up wrapped around the machine like 200 times.its fucked to see it. Im still here tho

[samgharavi]

Is he doing ok?hopefully nothing has happened to his arm

[scotfreak]

what is that thing for? and is your friend alright?

[mo30284]

what the hell!!! I wanted to see an arm get ripped off!!!

[P4INKiller]

@mo30284 Lowlife.

[mo30284]

What the hell!!! I wanted to see an arm get ripped off!!!

[mrxt500]

@mo30284 - Careful what you wish for sonny.

[pbgd3]

So what did it do, grab his glove? His sleeve? Maybe he has a neck tie he could wear?

[nadiir333]

what the fuck is that??!!!..try to find some hobby..

[P4INKiller]

@nadiir333 It's a lathe, it spins an object at high speeds so you can shape it with other tools.

Pretty ignorant of you to tell him to find a hobby, building stuff is a good hobby.

[starwishdeluxe]

1: I didn't post the video.

2: where did you learn how to read? Is the title "Lathe sucking arm in"? No! it's "Lathe minutes before sucking arm in" and the title says it all.

[familyfreaks1]

yeah you must ov been on drug,s to post this crap ! i thought i was gonna see an arm ripped off as well.

[starwishdeluxe]

Do you want to see my scars?

[MaCaHoliC52]

@starwishdeluxe Hey bud, sorry to hear about the lathe accident. Been a machinist all my life,, Lathe rule #1,,,, NEVER WEAR GLOVES,,,, #2 ROLL UP SLEEVES

[CNCMazakCNC]

That was stupid, I wanted to see a guys arm get sucked into the lathe.

[legomaniac150]

you proberly havent seen what a horrific thing it does. No one who has seen it wants to see it again

[echoside190]

@legomaniac150

Agreed, I was a CNC operator for a about a year and I've seen the shit a lathe can do to you when people slip up around them. Gotta respect these beautiful machines.

[william4art]

@echoside190 KEY WORDS = people who slip up. A person has to think safety at all times with any metal machining machine. Ive been a toolmaker for fifteen years doing extensive work on all lathes and mills and never had an accident. Its all about procedure. you never get your body or face near a lathe while feeding into the steel. you calculate everything prior to the start of cut,, make the cut, stop the feed then check. If peoplle learn proper speeds and feeds + safe thinking= OK! always

[echoside190]

@william4art

Yeah, I fully respect these machines because anything can happen at any time. My first month there the guy I took over for on my shift set a machine up with non teethed aluminum jobs on a hyundai HS-30 chucked 3/4" on hot roll steel 12"Lx6"W and made me run it and the 2nd facing cut it came loose and bent the ways and knocked the turret .200" out of line. It hit the view window cracking it and bowing the bars but I saw it and cleared from the door and hit the E stop immediately.

[echoside190]

@william4art

Didn't have room but I have to add that I had to run it that way because my supervisor gave that setup the green light despite my objection to it. Needless to say, about a week after that I put in my two weeks and went to another place who cared more for the well being of their employees. about a month after I quit I found out the supervisor that cleared it got his right ring finger severed at the 2nd knuckle on that same machine due to neglect while loading a bar into the chuck.

[PimpXXXGuitarist]

@echoside190 I bet that it's safe to assume the guy that O.K.'d such a setup AND got his finger severed is a BOOK TAUGHT pen pushing machinist - THE WORST!!! And they think they know everything... I am a 3rd generation SELF TAUGHT machinist and have ZERO horrific mistakes... I may have burned a finger or two cuttin' some SS or got cut by a shaving or two but NEVER a body part, any of US...

[echoside190]

@PimpXXXGuitarist

Yep he was a pencil pushing bastard with a side duty of trying to keep us machinists in check since he was the all knowing floor supervisor. I went to school to know what I know but it was all hands on training from a man who has worked in this craft for over 40 years. I run smaller lathes and mills at work now and work on my lathe at home almost daily and I've yet to get more than small cut. Machines are perfectly safe if you have a little common sense.

[ILBCNUn69]

@echoside190 Yep, you said it. "Craft". If you don't see it as a craft then you are not truly a machinist...

[starwishdeluxe]

Well, it hurt a bit but the morphine i got in the ambulance was supernice!
