When parting on the lathe, avoid letting the parts fall.

Those are also great for catching kidney stones.

Me thinks you got brass balls parting that deep.

I am a chicken sh*t and go to the saw for that deep a cut.

ONLY because I have heard that awful crunch sound one too many times.

I got two like that on the wall of shame, the smaller one was being parted at 2,500 rpm and put a hole in the drywall the other one just dented it

A good caution and great tips. Thanks.
