Safety First!

[TomG]

Since making that video a while back on drilling plastics, I've been thinking that many of us "seasoned veterans" grew up around machinery and have learned from others with more experience how to use it safely, but few hobbyists have that kind of background. In fact, many have no experience at all before acquiring machinery that is perfectly capable of causing them serious injury or worse. To help prevent that from happening, I've decided to produce a series of short (2-3 minute) safety videos directed at the hobby machinist. Most of them will be very basic knowledge that may seem like common sense to many of us, but is likely new material to those who really need it.

This first video covers how to safely use a file on the lathe.
