Because he was wearing gloves, a coworker lost two fingers on the lathe. He wanted to polish a 15 mm diameter stainless steel shaft with sandpaper after turning it to size. The shaft was still hot, and the rubber coating on the gloves became sticky and entangled with its surface. The ring and pinkie fingers on his right hand were ripped out in an instant as the gloves were yanked and spiralled around the shaft. What can we take away from it? When working on rotating machines, never wear gloves unless you want to get a discount at the nail salon.
Exactly, it's not hardened. If I accidentally ding it it's easier for me to take a skim cut and restore it. If you watch my original er40 collet chuck video, it was short and I soon realised I need an extended threaded section for the occasional maintenance. I use the collet chuck most of the time, the 3 and 4 jaw only get used sparingly.
Yes I'm aware. I wear gloves unless I'm using chuck with jaws and only wipe down with a thin tissue that'll tear out. Also I don't do that when it's running over 60rpm. I have dry cracked skin on the finger tips. It's thick gloves or thin nitrile when I'm doing anything tricky and want to be careful. Thanks :)
Nice trick :) Some serious precision there!

Muito interessante
Valeu muito obrigado!!!.
Nice. Why have you got so much long thread for your collet nut?
Is it so that you can machine it back when it wears or becomes inaccurate?

Now show how to use it with a four jaw chuck. 😊
Nice tool but, gloves and finger inside the taper of a running lathe 😬
