SAFETY <<< WAS: RE: [7x12MiniLathe] Mounting PVC Fitting for Boring

Can we please get back to the original subject of mounting a plastic elbow on a lathe or just stop if enough has been said? On the subject of safety, keep in mind that EVERYTHING we do, even breathing the air. carries some degree of risk. Machining equipment and the materials we use are inherently dangerous. Our job is to understand and evaluate the risks, and to take appropriate actions to reduce the risks so that they will not cause us harm. We do this by recognizing the risks and using APPROPRIATE Personal Protective Equipment (PPEs), procedures, and administrative controls to help keep us safe and off the Darwin Awards page.

It is well known as being very dangerous. Among the risks are : an excess can cause landslides, it dissolves rocks, perforates stone and metals, and also clouds the pastis. Drinking too much of it can lead to an edema. That said, whatever the liquid, gas, or material is, always wear googles, use gloves put a breathing mask and avoid breathing the vapors or fumes. I assume that any adult would know this but, you're right, a reminder may be useful. In addition, don't cross the streets. Finally lots of people die in their bed. A word of advice: don't go to bed. Keep sitting instead :-)

Arthur Coe Всі повідомлення цього користувача #120138 Lots of interesting ideas. I'm particularly interested in working with heating the PVC for future projects. In this case, using the PVC coupling, once it was mounted and centered it literally took only 3-4 passes (on each side) with the boring tool in the lathe to zero in on the tapered fit I wanted. The 90 degree fitting should progress in a similar manner once the mounting is solved. Seems like that's the easiest solution. I like the idea of mounting the 90 to a block that I can put in my 4-jaw chuck - I have some aluminum blocks that I had originally planned to use as tool holders that should do nicely.
