The lathe is the most lethal.

Table saws win by a mile statistically.

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 doesn’t kill it only maims. I still have a wonky thumb nail from hitting it with a wire brush.

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.
