One time in the shop someone was attempting to drill out some holes in a pickup mechanism. Thinking it was a relatively small part, they placed it in small portable bench vice, relying on it's weight to hold it to the drill press shelf. On goes the drill press, into the part goes the drill bit, accross the room (about 20 feet) the part and the vice fly. That person felt the wind blow by his ear as the thing went flying over his shoulder. Needless to say we all use clamps on our drill presses now, in fear of what would have happened.
