OH&S
Found this over at http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/s...6771&page=1119 ... a timely reminder to never wear long-sleeve anything while using rotating machinery
The first step towards knowledge is to know that we are ignorant.

doing the rounds
nice post its a beauty of a video.
Long sleeves are fine. in fact id say recommended.
the problem with this guy was he is doing it all wrong. probably No one ever showed
him how to use the lathe safely.
to start with you shouldn't sand/emry like that.
not to mention he has totaly over reached with work piece. and it took verty little to get
him of balance.

Here's a longer version. Took a while to extract him from the lathe.

saftey
i remember years ago there was all ways very gruesome safety posters in the work shop.
like a full size colour photo of a ring finger that had been forcibly removed from a hand
when the guys ring got caught on lathe. So it was a deformed finger with ring lots of tendons ect
poking out the blunt end and about a meter of vain to boot.
I all ways thought guys dont wear rings.

Just the thought of that scares the hell out of me! There was a more gruesome picture posted here a few years ago of a similar incident but I don't think the chap was as lucky. All you could recognise were some legs and the chuck was covered in "meat"
I looked at the "directors cut" of the above video, I can't believe how long it took for the power to get turned off. It was the second guy that turned it off, not the first guy! Boy he was lucky in so many ways. If the shaft he was turning was thicker and had less give, it wouldn't have pulled out from the TS end so easily….

Here's one that shows you should wear gloves even when you think you don't need to.
The dangers of hydraulic injury, present even in a tool that most wouldn't consider to pose a risk.

The thread I saw this one in has a few other images of hydraulic injection, one of another grease gun incident much less pretty.

Yes, I suppose long sleeves can be OK, just as long as they are not flapping about loose. I'd rather roll mine up, to be sure.
Here is a good link on how to properly use emery on a lathe, if at all.
Simonl, I remember that gruesome picture... still gives me the creeps 'til this day.The first step towards knowledge is to know that we are ignorant.

Hi,
It's a funny argument regarding long sleeves and short sleeves. I personally don't like long sleeves (due that particular photo). But I know plenty of older machinists and toolmakers who swear by them (no hot swarf burns etc).
I do know one thing, I never put my arm under and around a turned on lathe.
Ben.
