And in other news............my Dad said never buy cheap grinding wheels or cut-off wheels. Well, here's why........ I had just about finished fitting a new pinblock, turned on the grinder and WHAMMO!! The bugger shattered (still can't find all the pieces). It was a grinding wheel BTW, not a cut-off wheel, being used appropriately. One piece hit me in the gut - plenty of cushion, no damage there. Another piece whacked my pinky on my left hand - OUCH!! That one hurt (still does). Feels like my pinky was squeezed in a vice. Thankfully I was wearing gloves. Leads to a new/re-emphasized rule in the shop - ALWAYS wear safety glasses/gloves with the grinder. I know it's the rule anyway, but really, not even for a quickie will I turn on the grinder again without appropriate safety gear. I was wearing it, BTW. .........And, hey!! Let's be careful out there........... William R. Monroe -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
