New toy - lathe

Blue72, having worked around machinery most of my life I'd like to point out a possible unsafe habit. It might have been for the photo op only but you should never leave the chuck key in the machinery (lathe, mill, drill, etc). The simplest mistake could have devastating results to equipment and/or persons. Seen it done and it isn't pretty. That goes for anyone in here.

 

I have seen it done as well. This particular piece of machinery is only used once every couple of weeks, but I'm still going to have a chat with the employee that left the chuck key in there. Thanks for pointing that out.
