MF rotary mower has steel pieces around the gearbox that trap water & hold it, about an inch deep. So I wanted to drill holes in these pieces which are about 1 1/2" high & 3/8ths thick so deck doesn't rust thru. I'm on the deck above the drill, drilling sideways thru the steel. Removed my safety glasses so I could see better & drilled in where I'd made the pilot hole; almost thru with the bigger bit when it caught, as they do when the bit is breaking thru. Instead of the drill stopping the bit broke & couple pieces shrapnel from the broken bit hit just below my eye. So fast I couldn't have blinked in time to save the eye from being hit. Guess the moral is to keep glasses on & don't be beside drill bit; be back of it. You never know where the next accident is coming from.
