Chainsaw safety glasses?

What I don't get is people who watch dumb videos soley for the purpose of coming here to complain about how dumb the video was.

Your eyes are important , ask a man who has one .

I think it was Popular Mechanics magazine back in the 70, a guy wrote about the new safety glasses that came with a new tool. He put them on as an afterthought . The picture he showed was a splinter of steel aimed straight at the center of his eye with the glasses on. I try to remember that picture when I am in the shop.. I use a clear full face shield and hard hat to hold it. Plus if I don’t have a pair of bifocal glasses on I can’t find the door to the shop

I've been harping on this for a long time. Evidently you just can't fix stupid like I keep saying. While watching another episode of "Homestead Rescue", the camera moved to a very close up of the father using a chain saw. One could definitely see him squinting his eyes to avoid the chips coming at his face. I JUST DON'T GET IT !!!!! Why are people so stupid?

I worked with a one-eyed ironworker. He put his safety glasses on every morning right after he switched off his truck. I don't know much about eyesight, but I saw him trip several times when stepping from a diaphragm to a beam. I think that you lose your depth perception when you just have one eye. He recovered every time, but it gave me a minor panic attack to watch him stumble. Once with a keg of bolts on his shoulder. We were only about 40 feet above the water, so it probably wouldn't have been a fatal fall unless he hit something on the way down. No nets or tie lines back then.

When I was a kid we were trying to make brass knuckles and I got a sliver of brass in my eye It got under the first eye skin layer and required surgery to remove So yes I like safety glasses

Surgery, yes. no magnetic machine to pick that out.

After quite a few near misses, I make sure I wear safety glasses anytime I could potentially get something shot into my eyes.

On the lighter side, in a Rural KIng today I noticed Black Rifle has a new coffee blend_ Chainsaw. Wonder if that means it contains wood chips?

Maybe safety glasses are recommended when you drink it.

You tube had brass and copper magnets

 

[Dusty MI]

Brass or copper plated steel.

A magnet will not pick up brass because brass is a non-ferrous metal, meaning it does not contain significant amounts of iron, nickel, or cobalt, which are the metals that magnets typically attract. However, if there are ferrous components or impurities mixed with the brass, a magnet might attract those. For applications involving brass, other methods, such as using mechanical means or different types of sensors, would be more effective for handling or sorting.
