Happened really fast. It bound up twice, and before I could react it exploded.
Damn glad I have a healthy fear of cutoff wheels. I always use the proper guard and I recently bought a 3M face shield specifically in case of this…
I seem to have gotten away unscathed, except for my nerves of course.
Yep, I always charge hazard pay if I need to use my angle grinder. Even Dremel cutoff wheels make me incredibly nervous.
Watching people trying to make small cuts with a Dremel, face 10" from the wheel, with no eye protection gives me anxiety.
Don’t underestimate the effectiveness of a safety squint.
Guards and goggles and a healthy fear. I do use the angle grinder on screw tips sometimes when woodworking, so it is a good reminder.
