    On the list of things not to do (warning finger destroyed)

    This is for all you guys that don't like autodrives and those that have them.

    Keep your fingers away from them, at least the ones you want to keep.

    This one didn't make it.

    I still can't figure how the case went into the finger from that direction.

    I think I'll just stay with my Lee Auto index turret press and single stage for the rest of my life.

    Wow and I thought it hurt when my finger got bit by a lee bullet sizer. I think that would put me right out of the hobby. Thats right up there with sticking your thumb in a closing Ljungman action.

    An autodrive is used to automate a press. It takes the place of the person pulling the handle.

    That is not my finger, a friend forwarded the photo to me.

    The story goes that the fellow was operating an automated press and flipped the reverse switch for a different machine and hit the pedal.

    They reattached it but he couldn't feel it so they cut it off.

    I am used to operating machines that can rip your arm off and beat you with it so I am a bit more shy about putting my digits where they can get hurt. With the exception of getting a pizza out of the oven.
