Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] W.E.T. -CNC safety

Hi Jon and all:
May I suggest that you use no handle just a plain hand wheel
disk or a hand wheel with folding safety handle on any machine that
you will have the capaibility spin at a fast rate. The handles can
be a real hazzard if you get hit by them or they grab you shop apron.
Things get tight in a hurry!!!!!! I ran a Monarch lathe that had the
hand wheel disks only because it had rapid traverse both on the
carriage and the cross slide. It even had a pin to push into the
tail stock so you could pull or push back and forth to the end of the
bed at rapid traverse rate. Would it ever go! SAFE WORKING.
GOD'S BLESSINGS
