Or maybe the failure happened during a heavy cut in the "X" , cutter or ram crashed into the vise, or maybe the previous caveman crashed the "Z" going up.....
Surely safest to just leave the machine static....Of course if an earthquake hits maybe the machine will fall over......Really!
Its risky driving to work every day, and yet using good judgement and skill i manage to make the journey daily,mostly unfettered! Have seen plenty of accidents, but it doesn't keep me from driving.
If your scared, stay off the road....Everything has risks, especially to the inattentive or careless .
Will say that i have never seen this specific failure in a Deckel before, slotters be dammed, seems the possibilities for a repeat are remote in the hands of a careful operator.
