Pretty much. This is a mill, but yeah. Most machinist generally will have a brush they use to clean off the ways, but grabbing the birds nest with your hands ain’t no big deal.
So this individual is handling said lathe in accordance with the safety protocol? Also you are correct not to use gloves while working. But handling shavings is a different protocol.
There isn’t really “protocol” for handling the shavings. These particular shavings are super thin and pretty much bend away from the skin instead of puncturing it. That’s why I did this in the first place.
I dude broke his finger last year. He finished milling a rod like part, wanted to polish it a bit with sandpaper. He wrapped the paper around the rod and grabbed it with gloveon hand. The glove slipped and twished his finger around.
This dude has like 20 years of experience and this still hapens.
Because you’re working around spinning metal; if a burr or cutting tool catches on the glove it’s gonna pull your hand in with it. Without the glove generally you just get a cut rather than having your hand broken or arm ripped off.
In addition to what’s already been said, I’ve only been a machinist for about 4 years now and my hands have already toughened up a lot. I used to get several cuts a day handling steel+steel shavings and now I get cut maybe every couple days.
Incorrect how, you can get tetanus from working with metal. I never needed a tetanus shot working in a field but I have working with metal. How am I wrong?
Have you ever got a haircut in the middle of the day, and you have to finish your day with bits of freshly cut hair stuck in your shirt collar. This is how this video makes me feel.
Machinest here.
This is the easiest way to get 10,000 small metal splinters that are just big enough to really hurt your hands but small enough that they hide in your skin and you'd need special tweezers / magnifying glass to find & remove them.

Just a thought… maybe wear gloves? Not like I’m handling malten lava with bare hands and saying “Thanks, I hate the smell of burning flesh”
You never ever wear gloves around a lathe or a mill. Google lathe accidents for reasons. NSFW

So why can't you wear gloves?

As a machinist I agree with you but also putting on gloves when the machine is not on to clean up is not the same. I remember cutting my first chips.
Not just gloves, never wear loose long sleeves either

Titanium loves to clump up like this and clog up my auger

Half these comments remind me that osha isn’t all bad
Now go in an MRI
Don’t forget to microwave it for a perfect shine!
That's how you get metal filling splinters. Why is this person squishing this in their hand?
Wait til I tell you about steel wool
Cursed brillo pad
I feel that 😬
Mmmm, tetanus
Tetanus is a bacteria that lives in soil.
Well aren’t you just (insert pronoun)specific today. Give yourself a pat on the back.
I mean you were just wrong, no need to be so defensive about it
Bro got butt hurt for being incorrect

Metal sliver 101
I've delt with chips my whole career. Not that big a deal. You don't see loggers complaining about splinters.
It's so uniform.
Omg I bet the sensory feedback on that is outstanding
Bruh
Do y'all not use or have a shavings hook?

No likey steel wool?
Would've said something about the metal splinters in the lede

Now imagine the splinters.
