Vernon Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 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. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welder19 Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 I have had those days, did it ruin the part you were drilling? welder19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trying-it Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vernon Posted May 21, 2008 Author Share Posted May 21, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
