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'
