Shaving is what separates man from the apes.
Odd, and here I was thinking it was the size of our cerebral cortex but perhaps not everyone qualifies

In school a kid got his hoodie somehow tangled in a fly cutter. It pulled him down to the table until it finally mostly stalled the machine. Fortunately he just had a few scrapes.As a machinist, especially a lathe machinist, being around anything thatās exposed and spinning instantly puts my brain into āwork modeā and I start rolling up my sleeves, tucking away/removing hoodie strings, etc.
But my beard makes me look like Great Value Luke Combs, even have the same colored beard, so I guess I got that going for (against?) me
The risk of injury is great with machine tools, but it still exists with all mechanical work.In school a kid got his hoodie somehow tangled in a fly cutter. It pulled him down to the table until it finally mostly stalled the machine. Fortunately he just had a few scrapes.
But yeah, I don't wear loose clothing or gloves when machining. And remember to lick your lips before those heavy cuts!!
edit: and only silicone wedding ring for me
This cracked me up , we have a co worker that we say the same about ." Great Value Luke Combs "
I was an operator at a Paper Mill in the 80's, had 2 Beloits, and 1 Dominion. After some maintenance on the Dominion some guys could not account for a crowbar. The bosses gave everyone like 5 minutes to find it, then we started up. Started rolling the Press Section.....found it!! Destroyed the only Granite Roll in the US, had to fly one in$$$. Amazing to see tons of rotating eqpt stop rotating so fast!I work as a millwright in a paper mill. We canāt have a beard with hair over 2ā and hair is supposed to be collar length. Lots of rotating equipment.
HAHAI don't know about a long beard but it's hard enough to get clutch dust out of 1/4 inch of stubble
