I normally do most all my blank drilling on the lathe. I generally cut the blanks longer and mark the drill bit so I don't drill all the way through, then cut to size. Today for some stupid reason I miss marked the bit and drilled all the way through, when it went through the blank it exploded and the chuck and bit, came out of the tail stock and went flying about 15 feet across the shop. I must say I did change my pants, I could of kill myself. So please everyone be carefull and don't get to relaxed with what we do around our power equipment.
