Lathes are terrifying in their ability to maim or kill a meat popsicle in less time than it takes a beam of light to cross the length of a single meter.
I was running a 20hp takisawa drilling a 3in hole 18in deep in SS. The tool clogged with chips jamming the spindle. The machine jumped up and slammed down next to me. Scared the crap out of me. Same machine watched a dude put some long material in, seconds later a 3ft peice of solid aluminum bar is through the roof. Fun yet very dangerous machines
