There are many interesting stories from my time studying; reading everyone’s posts reminded me of another amusing incident, which I’d like to share with you all. Students in engineering majors have to take a course called Metalworking Practice, whose purpose is to give them an understanding of the various processes involved in mechanical processing. One student in my class showed exceptional skills right from the start of this course, to the point that everyone started calling him the “Danger Killer.” At the beginning of the course, we started working with welding; it was hot outside, and the teacher asked us to wear protective gear. This guy showed up wearing sandals and shorts. He was also very curious about welding, and as a result, the next day his instep and calves were red and swollen, like cooked shrimp;P. During the lathe operation part of the course, the teacher instructed us to secure the workpiece properly. This guy, instead, managed to send the workpiece flying as soon as he started using the lathe. When asked why, he admitted not only that he hadn’t secured the workpiece properly but also that he had moved the cutting tool one centimeter at a time! ! ! ! :@ Forgot that the depth of cut per pass should not exceed two millimeters! ! ! ! :@ After using the planer, everyone became more careful. The next day we switched to a milling machine, and in just half a day that person again frustrated the milling machine operator: (He pushed the tool in all at once when using the milling machine, which damaged the cutter right away:'( One cutter was ruined as a result. Next came the forging process; since there was only one forging machine, no one tried to use it one after another:handshake:handshake. Everyone simply watched quietly as the master operated the machine (though it’s relative – could anyone really stay quiet?;P) As for the lathe, after hearing the instructor explain the safety rules, the members of the same group unanimously asked that this person not be allowed to use the lathe: L:L If he forgot to remove the lathe wrench before starting it up, he would just start the machine anyway. . . . . . . :funk::funk::funk: After checking things out, the teacher actually agreed to let this guy skip the test altogether:Q Besides lathes, there are also hand saws – the risk with those isn’t very high, so it’s possible to use them manually. This guy can finally get back to working. As expected, of course, the saw blade broke
