Hi Nick

Normally metal spinning is done between headstock and tailstock, the way
you are doing it is very dangerous imo.


I try to be safe.. I use overalls, gloves and a full face mask and I
never move past the spinning disk in case it spins off. I figured that
if I secured the disk to the mandrel securely (big enough washer and
bolt) everything should be ok. Touch wood, I've never had anything
weird happen yet.
