Reminds me of the time a new kid was breaking in to the trade and was drilling holes in the big drill press with a drill vise. The drill broke thru the other side of the part and caught and started to a spinin the drill vise. I tell him to shut off the machine and what's he do, lift up on the drill press handle and reaches for the stop button. Well we know what happens when you lift up on a drill vise spinning, it shoots across the shop and hits me right in the shin. I tell him never lift up on the handle before you shut the damn thing off. I wish it hit him so he would have learned because he did it 2 days later again. I hope he moved on to something less dangerous. Sorry but I always hold the blank in my hand. I have hands of leather anyway.
