I have been a machinist by trade for just over 20 years. We had a lathe accident. One bad enough that everyone on the shop floor walked out.

For some of these I'm like "more info pls" but I am glad you left it at "lathe accident."

Lathes are brutal, uncaring machines. Not only can they kill you, it's going to be miserable the whole time as your body is torn apart.

There are plenty of lathe accident videos out there to see some pink mist if you’re really interested
