  do people here feel threatened by bold posts?

  i ask this because it would seem that everyone on this board has an axe to grind, and any "bold" posts that disagree with the majority are ignored.

  i have found that most of the posts i made ended threads.

  No.

  I have no days off. Workman's Compensation doesn't cover days off unless you miss 5 or more.

  I was running an old Cincinnati Mill that was probably dated to the 1940's. This Mill possibly made parts to support the troops during WW2. It is very old, and I wasn't used to running it. I was cutting keyways in a 2.500 inch diameter shaft, and thought I had put the table feed in neutral after touching off the part. I set my X axis and stuck my thumb up there to see if the cutter had made a mark on the front of the shaft. The table feed was moving so slow I didn't notice, and the 5/8 endmill crept up on me spinning 280 RPM.

  Hope your injury isn’t too bad……

  Not too bad, but bad enough to hurt my pride. I am lucky. But I have seriously doped myself up, and feel very little pain right now. Possibly have made an ass of myself though. If anyone is wondering, it isn't that hard to type with a bad thumb, LOL! But the nail was shattered and will be really messed up for some time because the endmill cut into the nail bed.

  Wow! It is so cool that there are folks out there that understand what happened and know the life of a Machinist. So Cool!

  I forgot to ask how you know what a machinist does.

  Nobody knows what that means.

  It happened on Wednessday. I took yesterday off from work. I worked today, but all of the movement made my thumb hurt really bad. Oh yeah, today is Saturday. I worked yesterday.LOL.

  I should have been paying better attention. I am a good machinist by god, but it only takes one second of stupidity. My thumb really is shredded and my fingernail will fall off.

  No, got my own pain killer going...A glass of red wine...

  Sorry to here that you almost had an accident, cut badly? Loss of feeling?

  I'm sometimes sqeemish to blood...and I wanted to be an R.N.....well only if its mine.

  cheers,

  nice to meet you also..

  I made the mistake of putting my finger close to a 4-tooth endmill in a milling machine. I didn't realize that I had failed to put the feed in the neutral position.

  I am a machinist and I let a preoccupied mind cause an accident that sent me to the ER. I only needed 6 stitches. But the experience provided me with a good lesson and Vicodin. I like my Vicodin with Beer, and that is where I am at right now. No Pain. But a thumb that looks like a behive because of all the wrappings.

  No, you didn't kill the thread.

  I am trying to get it to the other page because this one is messed up by the pictures dude posted. All of the words are stretched outside of the margins.

  But if we work together, we could kill it. I don't want to though.

  Good to meet you Hope4others. I like the name. Would you like some vicodin?

  Stupid question, but my thumb was nearly cut off in a work related accident.

  ahhh, also, i lived across the river from cornwall, ontario.

  Not sure where that is, but I get the jist of it.

  I never signed up for the missionary work. But I can see it's benifits. As much as people here hate everything about the JW's, there are certain benefits that I never hear mentioned. Maybe that is one of the things that upsets me. I know the negative side, but there are positive points that nobody takes the time to point out. Traveling is a definate benifit. But it is hard to step outside of that group connection. I just want to leave intact with the many skills and life learning experiences I gained. And I left years ago. I still appreciate the skills I gained. I try to avoid any bitterness. Ye will all hopefully find this is what I was trying to share.
