after hours of trying im actually getting somewhere then disaster blade gets trapped blade jumps at high velocity bounces off my wrist.....with enough force to break it :shock:

then runs up my arm tangles itself in my jumper sleeve and starts buzzing, in shock i manage to turn it off then realise theres something rather hot in there after lots of struggling get it free but could hardly move me fingers on left hand :shock::shock:

 

immediatly put pressure on it so little if any blood loss but how lucky to miss all veins

looks rather pathetic really but just rember it hit my wrist with enough force to break the cutting disk (i know it broke there as there were chunks of it in my glove and up my sleeve)

 

 

wear full PPE people :wink:

with the guard on its really restrictive to use a grinder, i very rairly have my one on

 

Its even more restrictive to use a grinder with fingers missing.

 

Lucky Sam. Good on you for wearing gloves and decent sleeves. Its too easy not to bother, after all 'it wont happen to me!!' :wink: .

from machine mart, bout a pound with the VAT on

 

Thats a bit steep mate.

 

I got a pack of ten from 'the range', was 1.99, Grinding disc and cutting discs!

when i took the guard off i thought 'skinned knuckles time'

 

i ususally buy cheap disks but they last minutes

 

and i think the blade got trapped between the hanger and leafspring thats why it jumped out
