It was rock maple and it must have had a split in it. I did not notice. It split around the center hole. The whole piece did not come out of the lathe just a big piece, which went airborne. I do not think I was being too aggresive but I sure was tenative after that for a while. Can you say chicken. At work I usually do not have to worry about the part flying out of the lathe but the red hot chips sticking to your face or going down your shirt. P.M.
