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

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.

Like the drill press, they can never be forgiven for what they did.
