Pigsfeet on Rye posted:Huh? In general, I believe that most lathes can turn either direction, but I think that you want the chuck and the work spinning toward you so the tool bit cuts efficiently into the work. Also, I think that some metal lathe chucks thread on in a particular direction, so you want them spinning so as to keep them tight (usually spinning counter clockwise to tighten a standard threaded part) instead of loosening the chuck. You are absolutely right, it's been almost 2 decades since I last used a lathe, so I dont remember poo poo.

I did not respect the lathe once and thought I'd try polishing a small metal rod on a buffing attachment but in the opposite direction since it worked better for what I was doing. 20 seconds later it launched the rod straight into my face splitting my lip.

Power take‐off shafts are like lathes except they don’t look dangerous and you’re climbing around them on uneven ground while drunk and on your way to heat exhaustion.

The tech who installed one of our CNC mills told me a story about a lathe shop down in Pacoima that ruined a machine by launching a tree trunk-sized aluminum blank(custom wheel shop). Apparently, the chunk tore the door off of the machine, went through the roof of the shop and ended up on a nearby road

My Spirit Otter posted:You are absolutely right, it's been almost 2 decades since I last used a lathe, so I dont remember poo poo. Machine lathes can spin either direction, but the cross slides and tool holders are intended to work on a piece turning towards the operator. You would spin the workpiece backwards if you mounted the tool upside down, which you might do to work on the inside of a large bore with a custom-ground tool, but it's not common.

The way it normally spins, the bit of material you're cutting is moving downwards, so the hot chips coming off it tend to get flung downwards - which is much better than them being flung upwards towards your face. (They do, however, get flung towards where your hands are when they're operating the machine. Nothing's perfect.)

Running the spindle clockwise can also sometimes be the easiest way to cut left-handed threads depending on the particulars of the machine but yeah anytime the chuck spins away from you, you're doing something very intentional and very weird.

Willfrey posted:Aaah makes sense now. I work in a sawmill that cuts mostly softwood structural lumber. After the wood is cut and dried it goes through a machine called a planer which planes everything down to its final rectangular width and thickness More finished stuff yeah. Sorry I can't remember the name of the particular machine.

Speaking of Spinny shafts and whatnot, this happened about 10 years or so ago, around here. https://www.thespec.com/news-story/2175070-drilling-machine-that-killed-hamilton-worker-was-1980s-model-with-no-shield/ Guy got caught in spinning augers while working on a soil sampling machine. Local lore has it that the helper and consultant were around the front of the rig when it happened (therefore no one actually knows if he slipped, or was kicking soil out of the way and got a boot lace caught) and came around the back to find the dude, dead and his corpse just kinda leisurely spinning with the augers. Or maybe they saw the whole thing, and that was a story they came up with to try and cover their asses a bit. It was also supposedly the helper's first day on the job, and he had no idea how to shut that poo poo off/where the kill switch was etc... The owner of the company was supposed to have had to come out and spin the augers in reverse so that paramedics could untangle the dude's remains.

I pulled every light i could off my own truck for that reason. head lights, signal lights, cab lights. all 3 boxes checked  Didn't much matter, they were covered in mud most of the time anyways.  that is, of course, when they weren't covered in road salt.

I've brought this up a few times, but i found some oilfield boilers put together in the 70s that had boilers built in the 1800s as trains and tractors inside the shack. e: looking for the pics through my posts in the old thread, saw this again and cringed.
