There was a decent mess yesterday in the machine shop as well.


Additionally someone left the sherline Chuck & tool post out. I put it all up & then got tired of watching the video.

Starting to look like DMS is going to have few less members soon. :roll_eyes:

This had to have occurred after I left last night. I used the Colchester and completely wiped it down including cleaning out the chip pan and swept the floor. Tools I used included the collet tooling (1/2) collet, 6 & 12 inch calipers, turning/facing insert tool, a rubber mallet and the cut-off saw. There was one other individual using the drill press while I was on the lathe…very nice person making writing pen…he cleaned up his mess. I used my own private bottle of Dykem.

A “purging” of the DMS membership pool of habitual mess makers and self entitled thieves? :grinning::scream:

I documented another lathe mess when I came in last night. This was photographed by a DMS Official whom I sought out…sorry, I forgot his name.

Most importantly regarding whoever made this mess…we are lucky to even have a lathe to use! The toolpost was clamped down half -off the compound! The compound t-nut casting could have cracked and broken!

Hey Will, when was this? I used the Lathe Friday afternoon until about 4:30p, and admittedly had to leave in a hurry to get to a function that evening… cleaned everything up though, only thing I may have forgotten to do is move the tool post back into place since I was using the chuck to drill a center hole in a piece of aluminum. That may have been me leaving it off center, but for the little bit I used a cutter to actually square the end of the piece, it was actually set up correctly.
