When I started machining all my mentors had missing fingers so I always thought it'd inevitably happen to me. Always very careful with the machines, double checking everything. Well after 12 years it finally happened, the overhead crane got me. Super cautious around the spinning sharp stuff, was careless with the thing that can lift 4,000lbs with a button tap.

When I was in jr high metal shop, I was loading a piece into the chuck of the lathe. Turned it on without realizing one of the handles wasn’t completely tightened down and the lathe knocked it right off across the shop at probably 75+ mph. Missed hitting a kid in the head by about 6 inches
Triple checked everything after that.

As a machinist with over a decade of experience on the CnC and programming - when working with soft metals and pcs that can easily be damaged during cut-off. Leave yourself a bit of mat’l to break the part off by hand rather than complete cut-off, this also creates a smaller burr on the cut-off face and prevents parts from receiving potential damage when falling if you’re not using a catch pan.

Bit of advise, if you're a beginner always clamp on half to 1 third of the length of the roundstock for safety unless you're using a live center. If theres too much pressure the material will deflect and catch on the tool ripping it out. Aluminium and brass are very forgiving in that regard but once you switch over to steel be mindful of that. The less stickout the better for stability purpose too.
Once you are a pro you can bend the rules, before that don't challenge the lathe. It will always win

Really made a chess set where every piece looks like his head
