Send Well Wishes to Mike at Cast Performance Bullet Company

Mike got his hand stuck in an automated casting machine. The machine belt-feeds and cuts and then sends material to the pot for liquifying. Well the microprocessor shorted out and it dragged Mikes hand into the machine where it promptly sent a pin through his hand. His arm was then stuck against the hot pot for about a minute straight. Broken bones, sewn up hand and burns. Mike is home and he's doing alright but not in good spirits. I wish him a speedy recovery!

Don't know the guy but working around machine tools all the time, that makes me cringe. I wish him all the best

Prayers up!

My brother's neighbor was working with a circular saw that was held on by an Allen nut. He wanted to change the blade and decided to stick an Allen wrench in the nut, hold onto it, and then turn on the saw to loosen the nut. No joke. Well, needless to say, he couldn't keep hold of the wrench and managed to implant it firmly in his left hand. Really messed up some ligaments, tendons and nerves.

Obviously, stupidity wasn't the case with Mike - but having seen the results of hand injuries, I really feel for him...
