"MF_BOSS" wrote in message I was running a lathe at
work. I was working on a steel pipe, my job was to
cut a 30 degree bevel on one end. The whole chuck came off
with the pipe still
locked in place. It hit me in the left arm,chest,throat
and face. Could have
took my life. The chuck plus the pipe totaled in weight at
about 150lbs.
Always be cautious running any machinery, its all
dangerous.

Threaded on chuck? And cutting the far side
in reverse? shame shame ....
