Wear your safety glasses boys... You never know when something is gonna let loose, especially at 10,000 rpm's...

Good post Shreddy..
Anyone else have any safety tips?
I'll add a good respirator and dust collection system.......
I sure hope that missed you!

I would add, never one hand an angle grinder. Don't matter how strong you are, if it grabs, it flies.
Almost destroyed my right knee with one, being lax/stupid.
Yep be careful with anything that cuts and especially ones with a motor on it...
Never use one with the switch locked in the on position. I had a disc blow up once and the grinder hit me and tore the front right off my coveralls. It wrapped itself in the shredded cloth and all I got was a small bruise.

It went in my chest and came out through my neck... Kinda felt like a .223... I'm ok though... Couple of band aids did the job... It only hurts when I laugh... :thumbsup:
You're a tough one! 🙂

Damn Bro... I'll bet that got your heart pumpin' a little... Nothing like rastlin' with a power tool... :cheesy:
Here is one of the best tips for ever... I mean really... Top this one... Never go into the shop right after having difficulties with your woman... You are bound to screw something up or hurt yourself...
Dave, didn't happen wifout pichers:)
Funny you should say that. I had a girl in my head real bad once. I was cutting out some corbels on my bandsaw and my mind was filled with this beautiful woman. I finished the cut and punched the moving blade.
Now I have a little nike logo scar on my knuckle to remember her. 😁

Sorry Roy, no pics. It happened some thirty years ago. Just imagine a good looking 20 something guy holding up what's left of his coveralls, making his way to the locker room to change. 😅
My Mom sewed the coveralls back together for me. It looked like it was made from ribbons.

I trying to imagine punching a bandsaw blade :scared:
