Re: Near-death experiences or injuries during build season?

We have a vice/tool wrench in our shop with three handles that we use on the CNC. We call it the helicopter. There is a very good reason for that name. Once the CNC is at 3000 RPM and the Z-axis goes down, the helicopter pops off the top, goes up into the ceiling tiles, then proceeds to rip its way through the ceiling until it is sitting above the CAD lab.
