Very handy for doing faux rock work, takes a bit of getting used to the gyroscopic precession though

Reply:LOL!!!!!   yeah!!!! might do the opposite  

you really got to watch out for the things you do routinely... like sitting the grinder on the ground right after you're done with it!!!

Reply:I've got one really similar to that,  A black and decker 9" with a 10" diamond blade on it.  Only mine's worse, it has a on/off switch instead of a trigger.  Cannot set it down at all until it stops spinning, the gyroscopic motion will make the grinder move on its own if its still spinning.  It's the sweetest undercut/jamb saw there is though.  Used it a lot to cut on foundations where I couldn't get the big and bulky concrete saw in place.  Also indoors where gas powered equipment will smoke people out.

Reply:I'm sure I do lots of stuff at work that would make those unfamiliar with the collision repair industry squeamish, but I gotta say no thanks on that grinder setup. I lost the knuckles off of a couple gloves before I threw out my old  4 1/2" grinder and bought one with a guard.  I know there are situations when you've got to get in to a tight spot and the dangerous way is the only way, but i would lock that thing up for emergency use only.
Reply:Good way to easily lose fingers or other appendages.
Reply:I'm more concerned about lack of eye protection or dust mask...

Reply:Should have eye protection for sure but the whole set up is an accident waiting to happen.
