rockhoppingmike Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 I had a plug fly off and slap me in the chin last night... that usually only happens once a year... I'm working with cherry and when I was finishing the tail end of the plug.... It snapped off. Be careful guys RHM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

go4broke44 Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 I should probably get one too, I haven't had any flyoffs, but sometimes I'll nick an end and have a decent chunk come off. I usually don't turn things too thin either though. glad to hear you are ok RHM SOL #13275 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minivin5 Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 Damn Mike be careful! Cherry plug huh, cant wait to see them! Glad you are alright bro What you do with your time is more important than the amount of time you have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charleston Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 There is absolutely no excuse for not wearing a full face shield. They are very cheap and new plastic shield refills are next to nothing. Along with the respirator the face shield is a number one priority!.......nuf said! Glad to hear you were not seriously injured. I am old but I'm slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

copycat Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 Before I get back to building (been awhile) I'm going to make a shield or cage to mount to the Vega. CC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capesams Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 I find it interesting that when a plug snaps off it comes up in your faces...all the ones that have snapped on me because I've taken the heads or tails down to an 1/16 have just fallen down on the lathe bed only to get sucked up into the dust collectors pipe...is it because your pushing to hard with your chisels or cutting points?
