We've all been there... Happened to me again yesterday.
It was a light lathe cut; light enough not to engage the chip breaker. It was a finish pass and the cut was close to the jaws ...had to pay attention to the carriage release. The chips were coming off in 1/2" long spring curls and turning blue as they few off the insert. At the last moment, a hot chip landed in the little pocket area of my ear. This is a dilemma we all face at one time or another.
Man or mouse. Take the poll...
Let's hear what you should do when this happens.
Happy Upcoming New Year!
