Watched a guy in the Cincinnati shop lose a finger to a chip brush
It was a Tuesday morning, about 8 months ago. He was cleaning chips off a running Haas VF2 with a long-handled brush, just like we all do. The bristle caught in the chuck, yanked his hand in, and that was it. The sound was awful. Now I never touch a machine, not even for a quick wipe, unless it's fully stopped and locked out. How do you guys handle chip cleanup on busy production runs?

Two of you saw it happen. That's not a weird coincidence, that's a pattern. My old foreman used to say "safety third" as a joke. Guess some guys took it as a challenge.
