Terrifying at times isn't it.....

The other thing I haven’t mentioned yet is the way you get to practice your dance moves With that semi-square piece in the lathe, turning at around 200 RPM, there are over 13 red hot little curls of metal springing off the work piece each second. The probability is low, but there are so many of them that occasionally mere quantity overcomes low probability and one of those red hot lathe tailings arcs up through the air and lands on your collar or the opening in your shirt , then finds its way down inside your shirt .As I said above, an opportunity to practice your dance moves.
