Don't, Do Not, Do never lose sight of what your vise stop is doing because you're so into making your part.

Dont know how or when, but I walked in to find this this am.

It’s like Groundhog Day around here. I’m thinking my power feed is not shutting off somehow.

When I finished a small batch of parts recently, I noticed that some of the holes were slightly off location. I had neglected to tighten the rod on my vise stop. Fortunately I wasn't hitting the stop very hard when I changed parts and they were salvageable.

Funny, that is the reason I made the one Im using now.

Made 4 exact same die steels, the dowel locations were all over the place as every time I slid a new one in place the stop I was using moved just slightly.

That solid bar hanging way out the back makes my teeth itch.

Deburing tools are sharp. Sliced the top of my thumb pretty good. Stupid hurts.

Just wait until you snap the tip off and stab yourself with one!

Interesting enough, the one deburing tool I got in a tool box had a snapped off tip and blood on it. Guess the previous owner switched back to files.

That looks familiar. I've been known to do silly things like this.
Or snapping a good end mill while moving the X axis and hitting the vise. Stoopid is as stupid does in my case.

I was chopping firewood earlier today and learned that ribbed pine borer beetle larvae bite like hell

I would guess so, if they can bore into an oak tree (among others) they can certainly bore into your finger
