    Well the fool was dam lucky it was just his shirt. So now ya know, never, NEVER reach across a spinning lathe chuck.
    I have seen a man with long hair scalped by a lathe chuck.

    How hard is it to remember to not reach across a running lathe?

    So you've never done something dangerous or ill-advised because of a momentary distraction?

    even a 1/4 inch drill has the potential to do injury maybe not to the extent of life threatening but one clamped in a vice used as a lathe with the trigger locked in place is not going top stop until it is switched off.
    The best thing is never, never, never reach over a spinning chuck on any lathe. I don't even change tooling on the tool post while the chuck is spinning
    Never try to tell me it can't be done
