Have you seen the video of the guy accidentally turning the spindle up to a ridiculous RPM with a flycutter in the spindle? 

The one where it goes thru the wall and into another wall across the other room?

Yea.. If I remember right, didn't it go through the sheet metal on the back of the machine and then through the wall? 

I tried to find that video a few years back and couldn't find it anymore.

It's been a while but if we're thinking of the same video it was insane.

I have NEVER done ANYTHING that stupid, with a probe.

I did do something just as stupid with one of my $300 Interapid indicators. 

I found out one time that my interapid indicator was good up to 1600 rpms. I've never tried to run it any faster than that.

I was 18 when I got my first job in a machine shop
One of my duties was to use the forklift to dump the chip bins.
This was Colorado in the winter and I found that with the proper application
of steering, throttle and brakes I could drift the forklift around the corner
on the snow covered parking lot. It was great fun and I got really good at it.
One morning I came sliding around the corner, the sun was up and the snow was melted.
When the forklift hit the snow free asphalt it tipped over.
Being 18, I was light on my feet, fast and 10 feet away when the forklift hit the ground.
I was unhurt, but I did get fired.

Good to know, might to have to give that a try sometime soon! LOL!

from your house just drive to the edge of the flat earth and then go a little further.

 

[Brian]

Did you Barf??

Or

Poop your pants??

Thankfully neither, but I bet my heart rate redlined for a bit there! You know, like 15 minutes later you're still really keyed up?

[Del.]

Throwing something off a Blanchard grinder raises the heart rate significantly!

My friend Peter had a similar expression (related to him by his friend Henry from somewhere in TX): "go West till you smell it, and then South till you step in it."

I never did learn where "it" actually was.
