Driled my finger

[czechsonofagun]

Today I put 1/4" cobalt drill bit through my right pinky. 4 stiches. But the doctor was a tractor owner - 26hp Kubota

ouch! Hope you missed the bone. Drills can make for nasty injuries.

I have drilled sheet metal screws through my fingers several times.. When doing A/C work. Had to reverse the drill to get the screw out

'Tis better to be unscrewed than screwed.

What no pictures!
So how did that happen and what do I need to do to protect my appendages.

Oh yea...... 3/8" gets a doctors visit but 1/4".......I don't know about that

You are lucky he did not own a (gan)GREEN tractor, you will now be able to keep the finger.:thumbsup:

If you had cleaned up the edges of the hole with a countersink, you might have needed only 2 stitches.

And you have a handy place to hang/keep the house keys
