Link didn't work for me either.? Somewhere, I have a picture from eastern Europe where a fellow got pulled into a large lathe turning what looks like a 12" diameter object.? You can identify one of the eyeballs in the mess.? Not pretty.

Greetings
to the group,
?
I
wanted to weigh in on this thread about machine shops, lathes, etc.? As a
farm kid who grew up around shop equipment and exposed PTO (power take off)
shafts on tractors, I gained a lot of respect for moving equipment.?
?
I¡¯m
not sure if this posted link will work for the rest of the group, but I thought
it worth sharing as it is relevant to the discussion.? I just got this
from an old high school buddy back in the farm country of Nebraska, although
given the clothing in the video, I suspect it was likely in an oil field in the
hinterlands of somewhere north.

***WARNING*** !!? Graphic Content!!? As gruesome as this video is, I
think it should be shown as required training in every machine shop, and even
every high school shop class as to what damage an operating machine can
produce.

Sorry
if this upsets anyone, but it is a somber reminder of the power of equipment
designed to easily cut and machine big metal parts.? A human body is a
trifle to these machines.

Yikes, Logans are classic,
lathes too-sweet but dangerous.
Yes, welcome!? And to
add on Geo's statement, many of us are into all sorts of related topics, like
vacuum tube tech, high voltage, high energy physics/chemistry, and many are
wannabe machinists.? I just bought a 8" Logan metal shaper when
visiting my parents.? Talk about semi-obsolete technology...
