It's distant perspective and not grotesque so it's fairly safe viewing.

ive seen that happen too someone on a manual lathe once,you know that had too hurt.

When I started work at my shop my boss showed me a set of pictures of a dude that got cough in a manual lathe. He was working by him self at night and he had a long sleeve sweater on.

Anyway, one of the sleeves got cough and pulled him in head first.

The chuck turned him in to goo, only his legs where sticking out. It was so gruesome my respect for the lathe went up a 100000000 X times...

I work in a CNC shop and we don't have any Manuel lathes, but every time I see one, I remember the pictures and I wonder how the heck can thousands of ppl work every day with an open spindle.

Scarry!!!

Warning 18 Years Old Plus Content!!!! This is very gruesome, poor guy!

I hope he when to the best lathe heaven!

A few years ago I had to work on a Okuma turret lathe that the operator was setting up to bore a Carbon Disk Brake for a Boeing 747 and the operator miss placed a decimal point and took a 1.000" cut instead of a .1000 cut and the brake self destructed lucky the operator wasn't standing in front of the machine but as a maintenance mechanic my helper and I had to replace a sheared 3/8" allen head cap screw and a 3/8 tapered aligning pin on a machine that's almost indestructible. Cliff

Damn, that's bad!! I read a safety report of the same thing happening in a shop in Canada. Cold day, shop door open when moving material in and out, operator wearing heavy coat because of it. He was using a file to cleanup chatter marks and it caught the sleeve with the same result. The operator next to him stopped the machine, but it was too late. Tragic. Canadian Safety sited operator incompetance; finish shouldn't have been rough enough to need extra finishing, i.e. filing, and wearing loose clothing around rotating equipment. Also sited employer for not stressing the safety aspects of the latter.

That one with the lathe is horrendous!!! Looked like he had a dog on it and thats what caught him. Yeah I have always had a huge respect for lathes. That the same size one I use at work. Still my favorite tool!!!!
