My apologies Ryan my main beef was with the absurdity of attacking the way he was tightening the chuck. I'm guilty of hi-jacking the thread to spout about 6 weeks or more of pent up frustration with some of these ridiculous posts, not just about safety and I kind of lost it. I also know that there have been far more absurd posts. I know that common sense is no substitute and I agree that practice makes perfect. I've had to be better about wearing my safety glasses and I assure you my house is safe (all my family still has their fingers). What I failed to acknowledge was how dramatically the "art" of safety shifts from when I'm in my basement, alone, to when you're in a room with 20 or more high school kids of all different skill levels using multiple pieces of equipment. As proof of how much robotics has influence me, I used one of our table saws to make a shelf earlier this week and I felt, almost naked, without any safety glasses. In fact I intend to buy some to keep around the basement now that the season is over. I apologize for sounding rather ignorant and crass. I know better.
