Seriously Terrible. DO NOT look if you cannot UNSEE - --> Drill Accident
This is from Reddit r/woodworking and /r/medizzy ... reported from Patient’s fingers and connected tendons pulled out by a
Patient’s fingers and connected tendons pulled out by a drilling incident.
The patient was wearing cotton gloves while operating a drill. He went to reset a drill bit and the drill caught his glove and pulled off his fingertips while simultaneously winding up the attached tendons. Replantation was not possible due to the extent of the injury. The wounds were irrigated and closed by forming stumps.
WARNING....... (scroll)

One of the first things I was taught as an apprentice fitter-machinist, over 40 years ago
, was never wear gloves around rotating machinary. I've had to politely tell a couple of WHS desk jockeys where to stick their "gloves must be worn at all times on site" rule.

My father in law always said to me to not underestimate the drill press and never get complacent with them. Dangerous if not respected.

The right tool for the right job, nitrile gloves should be used when use any type of machine that can catch you, they will give way

Quite possibly - any drill could do it, but he'd probably release a hand-held before it got that bad.

I've never had anything bigger than 24V, but I was always able to stop it with my hand. Same with a corded Makita I have. I mean that's how I tighten the chuck, I pull the trigger until it stops. Originally Posted by AlexS
