I felt your ears perk up way up here Darren.
Got distracted by something and walked away from the mill. Came back on hit the go button about the same time I realized the indicator was still hanging on the spindle.
Luck definitely does play a part in surviving this business because I ran the numbers and the indicator parted ways with the mill at about 130 mph. This was also quite a few years ago so it can't be blamed on senility, just a simple distraction. Now people are driving cars with cell phones in their hands.
Someone should man up and start a thread on this topic. I'm sure there are plenty of interesting stories out there.
