Re: machine shop horror stories
Well, nothing serious happened to us, but during my rookie year, I was milling a circular piece of aluminum the old fashioned way and while turning the knob, I managed to scrape my thumb against the edge of aluminum. It bled quite a lot and I learned that I should start wearing gloves a lot more.
As for this season, one of our seniors was working on the lathe, cutting down a cast iron pulley and accidentally cut too much in one pass, sending a large chunk of cast iron flying by his head. He was safe, but was quite embarrassed seeing that we had to order a new one.
