 You know it's Monday when...
A drill chuck decides to drop off it's taper in the middle of a run... and you have your back turned.  Luckily, I'm just making a bunch of parts out of G-10. (fibreglass, essentially) The next tool, which was a carbide centerdrill, hit the chuck off-center, driving it the rest of the way through the part, before pushing it out of the way. A strange occurance, so I thought I'd grab a picture.   |

They say a picture is word a thousand words; yours is a keeper for sure. Let's all be thankful there is but one Monday per week.

Well, it ruined the part, but that was no loss, this was the first half of the setup, where the 'part' was still just a raw block of G-10, a fibreglass-like material. The machine pictured is one of the Haas VF-3's that I run most often at work.
