It's called a "chuck key" and this is one of the oldest and most common ways to get hurt around machine tools. Most of the "do it yourself" machines come with a spring around the key body so it cannot be left in the chuck.
Please becareful guys! It only takes one slip up! |

You should try working in a machine shop, old school style, not these fancy CNC machines with all the moving parts and sharp stuff behind a nice metal door with a window to enjoy the view. Not that there is anything wrong with them. They pay the bills. There is danger around every corner no matter how long you have been at it. You can't get complacent or lazy or you will be sorry. Mistakes and accidents happen all the time, just look at my hands. You just have to learn from them. Glad you are ok. Now don't do it again .

A "good machinist" would have all his fingers. |

Yes they are all there, but ugly. No George Castandza hand modeling for me. Good thing too as I need them for adding a subtracting. Just the other nite I left the lathe chuck in the chuck but did notice. You usually only do that once, starting the machine, hopefully. Lu I wasn't knocking CNC's unless you are just stuck pushing the button, which I know you are not, although some nites I wish I was.

I think I read something about a sawdust explosion somewhere, I think on the other site. With that in mind, I probably wouldn't be smoking a butt when I'm turning. If my memory serves me right, I think Charleston said something about it, but I could be totally off target with that. |

Wear a full shield face protector.
I have been turning for about 5 years. I use AYC exclusively and have had 3 different pieces "blow up" on me. Doesn't happen often but all three times I had pieces of wooden shrapnel hit my face shield.
Cheap protection. I think I paid $30 at HD for it.

Face protector is a must in my book. I took one off the forehead first day I turned a piece of wood. Slip offered,gave, me a face shield the next day. You can paint stitches on it like Gerry Cheevers did to his mask when you get hit. BTW Lu I am not officially old till end of March  |

AMEN!!! I cannot believe how many times I have been hit. As I said 3 times HARD but quite a few splinters and little pieces that flew off over the years. |
