I got my hand stuck in a CNC lathe once, manually setting the last piece of the material against the stop plate.. not sure why it happened.. probably user error… but the force was strong enough to hold my hand in place but not enough to break bones. Ended up turning all the way around and with my left hand carefully turning the nob the correct direction to move the turret away. No injuries and no longer at a machine shop.

Companies have safety measures in place ONLY so in the case of a lawsuit from an injury you can't get anything (talcum powder and baby formula companies sold poisonous products for decades knowing the risk and just did the math on the profit made minus the lawsuit's) the safety measures aren't even there to keep you safe they wanna work you like a dog up to a point we're you might get injured but don't so you go home fall down or stand up too fast break your back and they aren't at fault when 90% of your physical activity was at that job(stress fractures occur most of the time days leading up to a accident like a rubber band breaking suddenly)

Ive worked and been in machine shop all my life. About 15yrs ago there was a guy running a vertical lathe with 3ft table. He was turning a big piece of plastic.

[@jds355]

Never had any serious injury in the workplace. Had some close calls with a bandsaw but worst injury was a nasty friction burn from a belt sander. Still got to be on your toes. Lathes scare the shit out of me, regardless of their type. Although recently the stupidest thing I did was spin up a disc of wood no less than a few inches wide on a motor shaft, bloody disc fractured and launched a large chunk at my chest, nice bruise for a few days, makes me wonder how many teeth it would've removed if it landed a few inches higher.

[@Mapipi.Israelihad]

I Was running an automatic saw, cutting 1 inch stock from 4 20inch pieces of bar stock. The fixture was secured correctly, all the parts tightened and placed right. It still managed too shear off a piece of the aluminum bar wrong and send it right into chest. Luckily it was low feed so that part wasnt flying as fast as a normal run, but I still pulled out about 5/8 inch piece of aluminum. Almost got me right in the nipple too, would’ve been weird piercing😂

[@mikecurry6847]

I worked at a sawmill for almost 15 years and that shit was pretty nuts. I ran the trim saw and there wasn't much room for error

[@TheOtherViolentJ]

The saw that just takes the shitty edge off of the board? I worked one of those for 2 years and it only kicked back once. I tried to hold on so the operator wouldn't get speared but It was so powerful I couldn't do anything. Shit crazy

[@mikecurry6847]

@@TheOtherViolentJ yeah it just nips the ends off. The saw itself wasn't the problem. I kept up on the blades so kickbacks weren't even a thing much less an issue. The entire mill, so 2 head saws, 2 band saws and 2 edgers all dumped onto my deck and then those all dumped into a tub. It was supposed to pull one board out at a time and make the job easier. But all it really did was give shit a place to get caught and it was always literally throwing boards up to the rafters, over the machine and at the operator. The guy before me got his jaw broke and lost like half his teeth

[@Mapipi.Israelihad]

I currently working a CNC Mill/Lathe shop but prior I had also worked in a pretty big saw mill. I ran a bull saw, if there’s one thing that goes wrong it’s a nightmare. One time, the guys running saws got ahead of the edgers so there was pretty big back up of boards. One got cocked sideways on the feed table, and jammed between one of the buildings support beams and the bottom of the still moving table. New kid, been there about three weeks was unfortunately the one who got it. The board snapped like a twig under all the pressure, spun around and smacked the kid right in shoulder. Then it popped up off his shoulder and still had enough momentum to break his jaw. I’ve never seen someone so brutally injured, he had his jaw wired for god knows how long. Brutal stuff, I’m lucky to have never seen a machine shop incident besides that one considering some of the “less skilled” labor that goes through those places

[@Velothi]

i remember being in wood-shop class in like 8th grade and we were sanding down our gas canister wooden race car frames, and the kid accidentally sanded his thumb down to half way up his fingernail, he sat there looking at the gushing blood in shock not realizing what he had done, until another kid freaked out and started screaming. Machinery can be so dangerous if not approached with 100% caution and safety. edit: it was one of those big circular sanding machines (not the handheld small sanders)

[@devilin100]

we had someone not listen and put two boards through the planner. clapped closed on his hands. luckily for that sap the planners and table saws were steps away and always being used. We did have the miter saw fire a dinky lil end piece up the wall, across the ceiling, down the far wall, skip across the floor and hit me in the head when I opened the next room door , because of course.

@@mrBlackMan304 but im assuming what happened (i didnt see the accident only saw him after he was staring at his finger) but I think he was putting way too much pressure on his wooden frame, it ended up slipping and his thumb went straight into the sander with a lot of pressure behind it

Two kids in my middle school woodshop class had pretty bad injuries. One girl ran her index finger right into a band saw and it had to be reattached. Another kid put something he wasn’t supposed to in a jigsaw and it cut his wrist. The shop teacher actually retired after that because he didn’t want to be responsible for a death

I Totally feel what Kyle says about how he looks at certain tools. Some tools are just like damn that's impressive and dangerous. But I definitely see many tools that way

[@TedBackus]

the worst farm injuries have to be the PTO on tractors, or somehow involved with the PTO. that axle is turning with the power of the massive diesel engine, and it will wrap an arm or leg around it like its a rubber band. much like a lathe, but with WAY more torque and far slower speed . imagine trying to twist or break a living fresh twig on a tree, the way the bark splits, and it exposes the inner green insides of the wood, thats what happens to human limbs in a lathe, or a PTO

[@THExJMC]

I was an engineering student and you get to use the machine shop for manufacturing some parts for your final year project. I used a metal lathe and it really is not that dangerous as long as you adhere to a few somewhat obvious rules when using the equipment. If you have long hair, obviously it should be tied up. Do not use gloves with any high power mechanical equipment and do not have long sleeves. As long as you do all these things there should be no problem. The machines are operated by spinning knobs/wheels that are reasonably far away from the actual moving component. In the case of a CNC you literally just press buttons from a control pad and watch the machine do its thing. Tons of machinery can fuck you up but there's little reason to be worried with proper use. People aren't scared to drive cars or mow their lawn.

[@dimetime35c]

I think lathes scare me the most of anything in the shop! Just the sound lets you know if you get anything caught in it it's going to come off. The scary thing is that it has so much power it's not going to only take the thing you get caught in it.

I’m trying to work in a machine shop during my gap year before college. Good money and work I think is super interesting. I saw a video on Reddit of a Russian dude that got caught in it and it just turned him into mush basically. Turned him through a few times and then the bones were no problem at all, after that it was just a meat sack getting spun around until it gave out and his guts and blood flew all over.

gloves are actually a no-no when working with rotating equipment... getting hit/scratched/finger cut off will be nothing compared to getting sucked in by the arm and not being able to do anything. Also this is the reason Lathes Have brakes, sometimes literally a car brake, and its activated by a foot pedal that stops the whole thing as quickly as possible.

Being a chipper maggot is no joke not only can you get sucked in but depending on how the rollers take a log of wood in if your leaning to far over the the log your feeding in prepare to get your head or limbs instantly crushed.

its becoming the standard in my industry that if a peace of glass is too big to fit in the lift they put it on top of the lift and i stand on top holding a 200lb 12ft sheet of glass up the shaft. its cheaper than renting a crane i guess

[@UnimpressedGoose]

Sounds like the industry standard is gonna be you dying. I’m a welder/fitter so a super dangerous job too. Don’t ever risk your safety n health for a job that doesn’t care about you. Its not worth it at all man

@@UnimpressedGoose you're right. im a contractor and there is allway another crew waiting for me to fuck a job up we lost a couple of hig rise building to some sketchy blokes. i have to pick my battles to be honest, just until they fuck up and i can charge extra to rip out and re fit their shit.

A lathe price vs a CNC is astronomical.

I used to work at a place with a cardboard bailing machine and it was easy to fall into and it would of cut you in half and squashed you at the same time.

7:45 wood turning lathe fatal spinning on reddit

I watch lathe accident videos frequently because I work in lathes and familiarity breeds negligence

[@clownsforclowningaround]

I saw the Russian metal lathe video. I regret everything.

[@davis4010]

Is that one where basically an older guy gets caught because he was wearing a puffy jacket? And then basically the lathe starts spinning again and basically tears all his body apart in tiny pieces? Yeah, that one was bad. But actually that's something that in censored way should be shown to every student that's working with such tools.

[@jaygin6518]

I saw one where the whole body got wrapped around and the body was flipping over and over .
