[quote]I almost got hit by a T-handle in a lathe once, I was helping a friend with a part and he started the machine. The t handle flew out and almost got my foot.[/quote]
I fired a guy for walking away from a lathe with the T-Handle in... twice.
The first time I said, I fire guys for that... the second time... he believed me.

I watched a dude get his hair caught in one. We'd all warned him to tie it up... -blam!-ed him up royally and left him unemployed.

Wow.... It seems particularly bad with people new to machines, I guess they don't realize how dangerous T-handles can be. I've also heard a lot of stories of people wearing gloves while working on lathes *facepalm*

A mill or lathe is a lot like a Terminator. Once you turn it on all it will do it its job until someone turns it off. No matter how much blood there is...
