Before you reach to turn off the lathe, disengage the tool from the cut,
lift the bevel, then remove it from the rest. Willing to bet 75% of catches
and curses happen because of inattention, not during the cutting, but the
(inadequate) clearing.

So damn true.... It's just SO easy to catch the edge of a goblet or the side of
a bowl when you think the cut is "over" but haven't got the chisel out of reach
of the wood...

I hate when that happens.. one of those things that make you feel really dumb
when you do it, because you "know better"..
