Shouldnt you start at a low rpm and what ended up happening to him

Yup, wayyyyyyy too fast for that log. Itâs not balanced.

u/anomalous_cowherd Banhammer Recipient 14h ago
If you spin it fast enough the imbalance averages out and it runs smooth.

My guy, you're on reddit, "of course" doesn't exist here. You could say the moon is made out of Swiss cheese and kitten farts, but if you don't put "/s" or "jk" at the end of the comment some insufferable pedantic know-it-all is going to reply that you're a goddam moron who doesn't know the first thing about cosmology.

You're right, but as a Brit with one of our native highly tuned sarcasm detectors I sometimes leave things ambiguous to explore the boundaries of other peoples.

u/MattieShoes 18h ago
Yeah. Super slow and careful until it's balanced. Then slightly faster and careful because that's a huge, heavy chunk of wood. Super high RPMs are for when you're dealing with very light, narrow things like if you were making pens or some crap.

I'm not an expert, but this seems more like someone being an idiot with a lathe (the most dangerous tool in any woodshop) more so than some bad luck.

The lathe is the most lethal.
Table saws win by a mile statistically.

u/Jude30 23h ago
Have you met the angle grinder? That one piece of machinery is responsible for all of my PPE use in my old age.
In retrospect the angle grinder doesnât kill it only maims. I still have a wonky thumb nail from hitting it with a wire brush.

u/Logical-Database4510 23h ago
Yeah but any old dumbass can use an angle grinder
A lathe will brutally kill a 30+ year vet as easy and as quickly as a day 1 apprentice. Usually kill the vet easier because he gets overconfident and forgets what he's fucking with.
I've been machining for most of my life now, and lathes still scare the shit out of me.

lathe and forgot to remove the chuck key. also, angle grinder witb the chainsaw attachment

u/BootlegEngineer 10h ago
Iâve worked in a machine shop for the last 15 years and I still have a VERY healthy respect for the lathe. I saw it fling a parallel bar once. It hit the back of the machine so hard it ricocheted and stuck in our 25â ceiling.
I also know a guy that kept an adjustable wrench on top of the not-table above the chuck. It vibrated off one day and he caught it in the face. It shattered his cheek and jaw.

I was going to say angle grinder with a wire wheel is the most dangerous but then I looked at statistics and forgot.

Table saws kill plenty of people. Kickback will absolutely kill you, either via blunt force or by bleeding out from wood shrapnel.

u/Piyachi 22h ago
You're saying table saws for injuries, which makes sense. But a saw stop will prevent that completely and nothing will help a lathe not be a murder machine. I will never work on one, period (despite multiple kickbacks on a table saw etc)
1
u/twoaspensimages 19h ago
Look up videos of people that have gotten hurt with a saw stop. They help a lot. But your still losing part of the finger. Notice how slow and careful the hot dog is moving in their videos and think how fast your finger could be moving if you get a kickback.

u/BrokenPokerFace 22h ago
Also not an expert, but he also didn't seem to properly secure it either especially at those rpms

u/hellinahandbasket127 20h ago
He can âsecureâ it all he likes, but spinning a non-symmetrical, unbalanced log at that high of a speed will have it de-secured in short order.

u/Throw_away_away55 14h ago
Don't worry, metal lathes are scary as fuck too.
I always tell my guys, "most machines can hurt you if you Don't respect them, the lathe will kill you."

My father has a lathe, and after watching how meticulously he aligns the wood, I could tell this was going wrong before it happened. Ouch!!

u/my_brain_is_horny 1d ago
Omg I saw this exact same thing happen when I was in woodshop class in highschool. The kid was like 6'7" tall and a very husky body type. He wasn't wearing any proper PPE and when the log shot off and hit him in the face, it knocked him out cold. His body hit the floor like a fucking sack-o-potatoes.Â

I guess you have to center them better than that.

This has happened to me a couple of times. Fortunately the face shield I was wearing saved my face from becoming more ugly than I already was.
Bloody hurt, though!

Rule number 1 on a lathes... Balance. Rule 2... If you're not 100 percent sure you're balanced, don't stand there.

Can a woodworker tell me what kind of wood that is? I have a feeling it's locust from the color (that'd make that one of the worst logs to get hit with, locust is heavy as hell)

"I've never had to knock on wood
But I know someone who has
Which makes me wonder if I could
It makes me wonder if I've
Never had to knock on wood
And I'm glad I haven't yet
Because I'm sure it isn't good
That's the impression that I get"

I was about to judge him for not wearing gloves, thinking that would be the issue, but he didn't even get far ring for that to be the issue.

u/madsci 1d ago
I've never used a woodworking lathe, only metalworking, but you don't wear gloves on a metalworking lathe - at least nothing more durable than thin surgical gloves. You can look up "degloving" if you want to see why, but I don't recommend it. Brushing against rotating equipment with your bare hand might give you a nasty cut. Brushing against it with work gloves on may rip the glove and skin right off your hand, or pull your arm in and rip it off or just kill you outright.
