    Why aren't you wearing gloves?
    EDIT: After researching, I found out that you should NOT wear gloves when using metalworking machines because it is severely dangerous and should be avoided due to the risk of entanglement. So in case anyone else was wondering, that's why he isn't wearing gloves!

      noo, gloves are not used in this type of machines because if the glove gets stuck, you can tear off all your fingers.

      im a machinist and i wear gloves. not leather gloves but nitrile gloves. keeps all the chemicals off my hands. the oils and solvents and such. and it helps somewhat against metal shards sticking into your hands with a little barrier. it may not be much but it helps. PPE should be specked to your needs.

    • @normoloid
      @normoloid 5 лет назад +3

      I think it's better to feel the vibrations of the cutting through your fingers, allows better handling when manually working a piece.
      Nitrile gloves are fine, some like to use them and some don't, but I think they aren't really necessary until cleaning up the tray and working area, in short, when actually having to be in contact with those razor sharp chips and strips.

      Well, it's said that the Lathe is a machine that can reproduce itself. You can even machine flat surfaces like the bed on it.
      Apparently David J. Gingery has done that in the past.
      After all, all the machines have to be made somehow.

    That's quite good for a plain manual lathe. I use a semi-cnc lathe,so I can cut at angles and radii I choose, so it'd be 99% accurate on there,but doing it that way is very good and the finish is great

      I do hope you're joking. It's because you're removing moisture from it which makes it less malleable(for want of a better word)
      The same thing happens to just about anything you remove moisture from. For this reason, steam cooking is the best way to avoid the problem you mentioned.
