    Default Oh, that's why...

    They say you should keep your tool rest close to the turning surface. Now I see why...

    To be fair, I was working in a big valley, right next to the chuck, and probably couldn't have really got much closer anyway, but still. Fortunately I had a good grip on it, and nobody got hurt - except the chisel. I was working on a segmented piece, and kind of lucky that I had a band clamp on it. I think that kind of dig-in could have thrown some pieces off otherwise.

    Be careful and stay safe everyone!
    Good things come to those who wait, and sail right past those who don't reach out and grab them.

    Now used for hollowing? Thanks for the timely reminder.

    Cheers, Gary H

    Is that a good piece of Chiniseum or a name brand?

    I actually don't know what it is. I inherited a bunch of turning chisels (with lathe included). There seems to be a set of ten or so Marples, and then a batch of non-branded ones. Some of the non-branded ones look very decent, some have home-made handles, and this one is probably the lest impressive looking of the batch. It was cutting really nicely before the incident though. I was just thinking "Hmm, I should use this one more often."

    I will probably just thump it straight again unless someone tells me that's a really bad idea for whatever reason.

    Humm, . . . . suggest not - the bend may have stressed it and bending it back may just add to the stress, next time it catches instead of bending it might juts break,
