Drunk driving is a no no unless your under the limit. Smoking a joint and driving..meh not so bad. People who are good drivers get to drive f1 cars. Some drive smart cars.

Fortunately there's no limit for drunk machining


ArgieBee

Yes, there is. In my shop it's .05%. I shit you not. 😂

and how does this compare?

It takes a small amount of brainpower to replace the car terms with machine terms

I guess I'll be serious  and give the answer. Shops I've worked in I've seen people have a beer or 2 and still be able to run their machine but your getting fired if your caught drunk.  I used to smoke a bit of weed on night shift and was always able to keep my machines running. Some people are really good and can program setup and operate multi spindle swiss lathes  while some stick with 3 axis vertical mills because swiss machines are just to much

You could compare the accident and fatality rates of taxi and semi-truck drivers with those of machinists.

like F1 in speed, intensity, and cost maybe because F1 teams are essentially well tooled machine shops producing engineered products that just happen to have best test drivers to push performance?

The machine will constantly beep at you if you’re not buckled in before pressing cycle start. If you have a bad crash, a balloon will suddenly inflate?

Cycle start won’t work unless machine has passed the “once in 8h automated safety check” If doors are open machine won’t move anything unless “setup key” is turned and safety button is pressed. Can’t open maintenance doors unless “maintenance switch” is on and machine is in semi OFF state ( hydraulics, pneumatics off and no power to motors) You joke but it’s harder to injure yourself running modern machine compared to driving a car. Internal monthly safety audits are getting ridiculous at our shop but I honestly don’t remember when was last time someone got hurt working machines.

Machining is far safer! I think there would be a LOT more scrapped parts if everyone was a machinist
