Not a big deal; but thought someone else might learn from my mistake.
I removed the mandrel and the blank from the lathe and absent-mindedly reached across the lathe to pick up a piece of MicroMesh. Did not pay close enough attention and caught the back of my forearm on the LMS live center. Nothing serious; but blood was drawn and with slightly different circumstances, I could have had a very nice gash.
I need to be more careful and think, in the future, I will remove the LC from the lathe when it is not in use. That damn point is pretty sharp!!
