Be careful in the shop lads

Just saw this news story and thought it an appropriate little reminder that things can go badly wrong if you are not carefull

Thanks Bill,

Emery cloth used incorrectly on a lathe if you do not know what you are doing is down right dangerous  .

and as for anyone letting anyone loose on a lathe wearing gloves idiots idiots 



I seem to recall a school had a similar incident a few months back where they let a kid use Emery on a lathe, he had wrapped it round his fingers
