Hello,
I wish you all a very happy Friday!
Got a new hire and I am training him to work in the shop. No real machining experience.
Nice guy.
I tell the guy, don't leave the chuck key in the lathe... Its a bad thing to do.
Every time he walks away from the lathe he leaves the chuck key there. This has gone on over three days straight. I try not to look.
I have reminded him at least five times. Jokingly threatened to tie it to his hand.
What do I do here???????
Wait for him to have an episode?
Ignore it?
How big of a deal is this practice of leaving the key in there? Do folks on the forum do this? Seasoned machinists?
I've always been told not to do it by the few machinists that I know.
Enjoy the weekend,
Joey
