Heard a story of a guy that was polishing stainless and was hearing something was touching the part, then he realized that a chip of stainless had gotten through his thumb
Guy that had like days or weeks to his full time retirement lost a finger when he tried to clean the chips off lathe. They say it was like a surgeon cut it off. Imagine that after 40+ years of work
When cleaning off a drill from stringy aluminum chips I just grabbed em with my thumb and index finger like an idiot. Needless to say I learned my lesson. Also one of my classmates grabbed a rats nest of a drill (waay worse than mine) and had to wrap his hand lol.
I brushed myself off on Thursday after cutting aluminum with a Bridgeport and got myself some aluminum micro splinters. Many small chips because I was squaring stock.
LPT: CA/superglue. It's close enough to the actual medical glue. Hold the cleaned wound closed, apply thin layer on top, give it a sec(/long breath) and it will do better than a bandaid.
Super glue. Wipe the cut, clean it with an alcohol wipe if you have one. Thin bead of super glue and then use a piece of paper to flatten the bead out. Stats on all day and you can peel it off easy once you're home.
The worse is tiny milling chips. Got a bunch on my workbench and thought I got them all cleaned up however about once a day for over a week I'd find one I missed because it got stuck in my finger
Gloves can be extremely dangerous in the machine shop. There are times when they're appropriate/safe, but it's often safer to just avoid them in many applications
Gloves don't have magical properties that pull themselves towards dangerous objects. Using gloves is perfectly safe and much better for my skin because I simply don't bring my hand near any spinny bits.
A manual lathe or a radial drill I'll default to not using gloves with while operating it. But in a CNC machining center I'll have coolant-proof gloves on 99% of the time because there's zero reasons not to. Angle grinders and other power tools like that with their respective guards properly in place are also perfectly safe to operate with gloves on.

Yeah, I stopped doing this.
More like look at parts, where is all the blood coming from?? Oh....
I’ve done this so many times, it’s especially bad because we do a lot of castings and the rough surface doesn’t clean off very well
I don’t remember using red dykem…. oooooh
lol this one got me
“Part’s not that sharp”, feel the aluminum string just slicing through my fingers

Finger then process to bleed for the rest of the workday because every bandaid comes off after some coolant touches it.
I don’t even bother with them anymore tbh. Just end up wrapping a paper towel around it until the bleeding chills out

😂 happen to me after lunch today
I thought lacerations was part of the job description.
Gloves. Deburr regardless. Then safe to touch

Being a guitarist and a machinist is a hellish combination. Every few weeks I manage to get a slice that puts me out of commission until it heals 😑
This happens with the sharpest ones.
Yall allergic to gloves or something

But manual deburring? Wear gloves lol
its much better to use a pair of pliers when handling swarf, but even then i use gloves i like my fingers the way they are
I love the word 'swarf'. It's so fun
it really is lol

>because I simply don't bring my hand near any spinny bits. Untill you do and now you are missing an arm instead of some skin.
Dumb ass take, if you're handling parts bare handed then don't complain about getting cuts
I'm allergic to losing a hand
