Food for thought!


Do they make aprons containing those ceramic bullet proof plates that
can be used for table saw operators (and others)?


One of the first things I was taught, and I taught, was to stay the hell
clear of the firing line. I took it to heart, and to the lathe, too. It
was an automatic "D" for the day to activate/operate in the throw zone.
Automatic "F" to use the equipment when someone else was in it.

Won't find me anywhere in that disintegration zone on the lathe, either. I
also try to remember that a shaving _cut_ from a piece falls. One _torn_
from a piece flies.
