Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] injuries from your machine?

Ball:

Knocking on wood, I have never been injured by a motorized machine, either
store-bought and brought in on an 18-wheeler, or home-brew! I began making
chips about '64, and still do. Buzzing and squealing rotating machinery has
ALWAYS said to me, "I'm HONGRY for itty-bitty bits of fingers and hair that's
too long, and whenever I have a chance, I want MORE than just that!" So, I
keep away from moving parts when the power is ON!!!

I would HOPE that most of us who tinker with home-brew machinery will have
had enough experience with "conventional" machinery to know the "basics" such
as NO long-sleeves, at least with unbuttoned cuffs, NO long hair, keep hands
and toes at least a kilometer away from spinning lathe-chucks, saw-blades,
mill-bits, etc., and wear eye-protective stuff like "safety-glasses" or
goggles, or a face-shield, etc. Ordinary bifocal eye-glasses do NOT count as
substitute for those!
