Well I do think he's making his point.
A chuck key is the #1 cause of injury or damage to the machine when it comes to a lathe.
I'm not sure 5 mentions of it are enough.
Then again it it got your attention maybe it is. ;)

It's in there 5 times because it IS that important!

The #1 issue in maching at home or at work is SAFETY!
The #2 issue is SAFETY
The #3 issue is SAFETY

After that the quality, accuracy and profitability fall in there somewhere.
The most talented machinist is little more than a human text book without
their hands.
