I was using the radial arm drill this afternoon to drill a couple 3/4

I'd ruined so I clamped it to the plate with a couple vice grips. Then
in the drill vice and drill the hole in one shot. The drill grabbed
right when busting through and the part pulled right out of the vice
and turned into a helicopter.

I'm glad the vice was as high as it was, I just got a nasty bruise on
my belly. If it had been a few inches lower, I'd be a soprano right
now.

them away!
