Broke many bits in my day, but this one just went bang into several pieces. One cut my face and other went "ping" off my glasses. 1/4" on my drill press, a good Milwaukee drill bit from HD, not a cheap set.
Back in the day I was spotty about wearing safety glasses, this time it would have been disastrous. Stupid lucky, getting older was a good thing for once. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) |

I've been to an opthamologist twice to have crap pulled out of an eyeball. Years ago. Saw that drill close up and personal. I don't need to do that again.

QUOTE(Gint @ Dec 20 2011, 10:55 PM)  I've been to an opthamologist twice to have crap pulled out of an eyeball. Years ago. Saw that drill close up and personal. I don't need to do that again. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Me too! And flash burns several times. Mostly while welding in the shipyard next to two other guys all day. Can't help but get nailed. I wear cheaters now but put on over googles and ear protection when grinding, drilling now. I'm going to check into the cheater saftey glasses in that link! Rule in my shop was if you wanted the day off just let me catch you without your glasses. First time (IMG:style_emoticons/default/slap.gif) Second time (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif) See ya! |
