. ER bites. Glad to hear your going to be ok

The only chips in the eye I have seen in our machine shop is people that were wearing safety glasses.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying don't wear them :rofl:

If stuff takes the right bounce there is nothing you can do.

I've been down this road a few times. Avoid the ER next time and go to your clinic. Faster service without all of the mickey mouse insurance robbing tests..

 

[SteveFord]

Thats sucks. Had a guy at our shop 2 years ago get a peice of metal in his eye and also had glasses on. Hasn't happen to me yet!

You are an old codger and you need to cut that macho shit out. :hug:
I have hurt myself worse at home than the shop. I have become a master at wrapping a nasty cut that would normaly require stiches. Get some goggles Trent. hope you are ok.

Where is the metal in eye champ TySmith? I swear he did that 6-7 times when I lived up there....

 

[E.carter]

Never had metal in my eyes but I was breaking a bearing three years ago at work and it shattered and I got a chip of greased up bearing race lodged in my cheek. It was no fun, It is a very weird feeling having metal removed from under your skin with the doc using a very strong magnet.

 

[TIM Z]

ouch!

i know being stuborn and not going to the doc is why it rusted , superglue works the best on a good cut but electrical tape and a shop rag does the job as well .

Yep porting on a set of 990 heads (cast iron) and had safety glasses on got a peice of that in my eye that made a rust ring,had to get the ring taken out 4 months later. But I also have burnt my eye's really bad and I would rather have somthing in my eye any day then burn them agin.
