Good lord, Assa, it was probably only 25 pounds.

WHY IS THERE SUCH A THING AS A 25 POUND CLAMP?

So in case inexperienced "engineers" don't bolt it down, they might have a chance of getting out of the way when it goes flying.

Now, in my defense, if I had bolted it down I could not have gotten the piece in to the needed position for drilling.

Possibly, it wasn't the right tool for the job then, was it?

Captain Hindsight says you should of bolted it down.

It is what we had. Working for a small company has it benefits and its downfalls.

I get it. I fix my cars at home next to a tree, for the shade.

I'm going with just plain dumb.
Drill speed was to slow and feed rate to fast. BTW they make composite toed boots. Way more comfortable. I wear mine everyday.

What kind of mount were you making for the boat?

Actually, I would say, what is more uncomfortable steel toed boots or toes smashed or cut off in what is left of nonrated boots?
As for the whole engineer running a piece of equipment........................dumb. Unqualified people should not be allowed in the same room with any equipment.

Actually to graduate from most good engineering schools you have to take a senior design/build class and to use any of the equipment you get qualified by the shop tech.

I am not saying I am at a machinist level, but I know how to operate most equipment to some level.

You do realize there are several different engineering sciences, right? Do you honestly believe that Chemical engineers, electrical engineers, electronics engineers etc. etc. are given a class in drillpress operation. Not to mention that there are hundreds, possibly thousands of Universities that teach all of these sceinces and, you believe they all hold to the same curriculum?
Maybe you might at least qualify your statement by claiming or stating you are a mechanical engineer first. Just sayin'

Mechanical engineer never got taught about drill presses. I know.
One, I am one and two, the guys I know wouldn't know wtf a chuck is much less the chuck key.
Actually was in plastipak's machine shop building pump stands when Don asked me how to put the bit into the drill press. We ran him out. Kind of like when Logan casts Milo.
The two-handed "GO" maneuver.

Haven't we pretty well established that if you have to ask if it was dumb, it's pretty much guaranteed that it was?

[Feelin' Fowl]

Why aren't you wearing steel toes?

Fuck steel toed boots... most uncomfortable thing on earth.

You probably haven't paid for a good pair. I love mine...

[GadwallGetter530]

The youngest discovered Dennie the menace last night on Netflix, her new favorite next to saved by the bell...

I used to love me some saved by the bell. Watched them new, you feeling old yet?

My 2nd job is driving a hotel shuttle bus. Last weekend a girl (who was pretty decent looking, and traveling with her gay cousin) had on a Bayside Tigers shirt. I got a kick out of it.

Ok Mike. Fuckin boot Nazi.

Thank you. It's nice to be appreciated from time to time.

I wear my steel toed boots all the time...even out hunting.

Yes, of course.

Nother couple questions.
What size final size and what size pilot hole?
If you say "pilot hole? " you're fired Jetson.


How thick of aluminum and what speed where you using lefty?

WHY IS THERE SUCH A THING AS A 25 POUND CLAMP?

BECAUSE THEY DONT MAKE A 50LB CLAMP?

[vincentpa]

WHY IS THERE SUCH A THING AS A 25 POUND CLAMP?

That I cant answer.

Because steel weighs 490 pounds per cubic foot. It doesn't take much volume to get to 25 pounds.

Never mind. Looked it up. Learn something new everyday. For some reason I feel like I could move a 1ft cube of steel...guess not:lol::lol::lol:

Well, that would make sense if it was a weight. But it's not. It's a clamp. And as such, the weight has nothing to do with its ability to perform its assigned task. Which would be "clamping", not "holding something down through sheer weight like a fat chick".

[huntall6]

Assa, it's a vice. Get over it

[Botiz630]

I agree with Teague. You should have to weigh every item around you before you tell anyone a story about what just happened.
