Re: Most dangerous tool in your shop and why!!!!!!
I had a fun experience with a 8" air grinder. i work in a body shop and one day I was grinding on a door to remove to outer skin like I have done hundreds times before. Well this day was going fine until about the last several inches. The disc and the backing plate shattered and came apart right into my face. Luckily I had a polycarbonate face shield on. When I cleaned my underwear the shield was cut into half right about my eyes.
Another incidaent was a 6 inch grinder grinding on a frame rail that was welded for a boxing plate when the disc broke flying rigth below my...........gentleman parts........................Any higher and i would have been on an interesting trip to the hospital. I had a bruise across both legs for a month. My doctor loved me for that appointment.
