I am known for making strange statements but in no way did I imply or wish any serious injury to anyone with the odd black eye and cut finger
Nor did I condone the grabbing of a chuck which was what sparked my strange statement.
That's the same type of drill I use and never had any problems with the drilling on lathe or pillar drill at any speed.
I have however had many things flying around my shed and many have made contact with my person, all part of the fun of this wonderful hobby we pursue.
I have noticed on a few occasions (very few) when withdrawing the tailstock with Jacobs chuck the tailstock has moved but the drill has not retracted with it.
Upon noticing this I have a choice of advancing the tailstock or switching off the machine.
I had always put it down to me not putting the taper in correctly or firm enough so I can understand how Maurice reached this dilemma init?
