Don’t run lathe with a glove on

[Pidalin]

First thing they will tell you in school - never have gloves, long sleeves or some chain around your neck when you work on spinning machine like lather or driller. Accidents happen when you let waiters and cooks work with machines, people with actual vocational school or technical high school are rare now.

The gloves arent even the only stupid thing in this video. Machinist darwin award

And don't hold the emery cloth ends so close, it could snag and pull you in and wrap your fingers around the bar. You could also hold the emery cloth against a file to get a little more pressure on it if needed.

Fuck man. There’s cheap wireless headphones and it only takes a couple seconds to remove that glove and whatever is in your way. Remember your safety training everyone. Don’t fuck yourself up and your family.

sanding with a lathe has always been dangerous, it would've been safer if you put the threaded side in the chuck and sand away from the chuck. don't wear gloves and earbuds AND DON'T TURN UR EYES AWAY! ALWAYS KEEP AN EYE ON A RUNNING MACHINE.

My company requires gloves but you also would have to hold the work youre machining with pliers or something other than your hands. We are a foundry with a large machine shop. Over 1100 alloys cast and machined. We have an osha reportable rate lower than positions like teaching and working in a grocery store.

We used those gloves that allegedly rip instantaneously. Was manually boring out the center of some 12" thread gages. I was about to switch the part over to the Okuma, and the spindle grabbed the glove of my right hand. It was as if God took control of my body, and my left hand immediately slammed down the brake. Since my hand got caught on the front of the spindle, instead of the top, my glove got twisted around my hand so bad that it broke 3 metacarpals. If the top of the spindle had grabbed me, I would have gone over the top and through the machine until it stopped. Like I said, blessing from God.

More like, 'also, never glance away when using a lath machine.' My heart dropped when he did that.

Not only should you not wear gloves when operating a machine .but also there's a proper way to use emery paper/cloth when polishing .you go from the front instead of wrapping it around from the rear .whilst it is harder to get results it also tends not to bite in so easily and you are more readily able to let go if it bites .keep it taught and go from the front .but avoid doing it altogether where possible .

A video was on here several years ago of a young man sanding a long rod held between centers on mid size lathe. It pulled him in n wrapped him around it, probably breaking his arm n who knows what else. Luckily there was some help that quickly ran in got him untangled. Can't remember if dude was even conscious. Bout the worst I'd seen.

Anyone heard of the Russian lathe incident (google at own risk)

[Banjoandguns]

I did the with tig welding gloves late night in a hurry it sucked my hands in. It was a small bench top lathe it hurt me but I have a giant lathe now and those gloves hang behind it. Never again for me

[alexdalton]

As a mill guy never touched a lathe (manually programmed one (in excel/simulation whole different brain) what if the rpm is way low does that make this safer^ 25rpm ish

[Convolutedtubules]

Don't wrap anything around the workpiece, only sand from the bottom where it can't grab and pull you in. Especially small diameters!!!

[devinmcgarr]

Russian lathe accident, Japanese lathe accidents. First videos I saw before operating a lathe. Also never use gloves or long sleeves or any kind of chains/ jewelry

The only reason why people say don’t wear a glove when working around a lot of spinning equipment is because they are not willing to learn to be safe and respect the dangers around the equipment. All tools can be dangerous if not given the proper respect and though while using it

[nickking]

I nearly lost a finger as a second year while filing on a lathe as I was wearing gloves as i was told to lets say I learnt a valueable lesson that day

[RichardSmith-wrgo]

Remember an episode of Biker Build Off, Billy Lane got a dreadlock ripped off on the lathe.

Also, can I say that you're better to pull up than you are to do with the way you're doing it.❤all due respect but....
If you're pulling up equally with both hands if the sandpaper breaks your hands just go out of the way.
The way you are doing it risks one of your hand going into your project.

But maybe I'm wrong,
