| STANDING POSITION WHEN SPINNING METAL |
|
| The spinning tool is clamped firmly under one arm and supported equally firmly by the other hand, against the pin of the T - Rest. Both feet should flat on the ground for stability. Safety gloves are worn, due to handling sheet metal. Some machine operators wear one safety glove, on the hand that handles the sheet metal, which is the hand near the pin, in the T - rest. |
