...While working alone at the cabin, the grinder kicked and hit me...hard. At first, I thought I had escaped injury...but I was mistaken... Although what happened was bad enough, it could have been a whole lot worse, and I'm just glad that it wasn't. Later, my dad and I returned to finish the sanding, install the insulation, and nail the lath.

Your "incident" with the grinder brought back a jarring memory to me. Several years ago I was using a belt sander when the front of my t-shirt got sucked into it. The fabric stopped the sander just as it touched my skin. I was lucky that no damage was done but the thought of what could have happened left me in a daze for a few hours. Stay safe, my friend.

You saw the clip yourself...how do you suppose a 7" grinder disc could end up inside my sleeve without doing anything to my arm? Those who have worked with grinders will understand. Finally, it's hypocritical of you to put words in my mouth while trying to accuse me of dishonesty. I never once said that the grinder "almost took (my) arm completely off" (your words, not mine). The exact quote from my video is... "Although its contact with my arm was brief, it still managed to do a fair amount of damage". Which is completely true. In fact, I thought I was underselling it. 😅

As I watch your intro I'm reminded of my own angle grinder incident. Probably 10 or 15 years ago I was working in my garage on some metal project that i can't remember now. I stopped cutting and switched out the wafer disk for a grinding disk. Well in the process of tightening the grinding disk retainer down I inadvertently hit the "on" switch. Once I collected my wit's I took a look to find that my glove was shredded on my right thumb. Without even looking further I grabbed a fist full of shop towels and balled my thumb up and made my way to the house where my big emergency kit was at. Very slowly and delicately I worked my glove off to discover that I had a perfectly shaped and cauterized spot on my thumb almost 1/2 inch long, 1/4 inch deep, and 3/16 inch wide. I was lucky that the glove took most of the abuse and the only thing I'm left with is a small bump on the pad of my thumb that when I run my other fingers over I remind myself, "unplug any tool before you mess with the business end dummy!" Even though you say "respect the tool" you also need to have a level of fear anytime that tool is plugged in or in some cases now days, battery attached. Thankfully God sent you a message and not a messenger. And thank you for sharing that message.

A few years ago I was prepping a steel beam for welding with a wire wheel on an angle grinder, it caught my boot lace and before I could react it dug into my pants and took a chunk of calf muscle with it as it walked up my leg. So very good of you to extend this warning to the masses.

@FairieChele 2 жыл бұрын

Growing up, Mom was an EMT and Dad built a lot of things. It only took a split second in the shop for the table saw to bite him. After that, any time power tools were used, it was always a 2 person thing...even if 1 was only there to watch. Now, 30+ years later, I still follow that and for good reason. Hubby was on the ladder doing the porch roof and got bite by the metal. While I couldn't be on the roof, I was there to tend the wound. Glad your injury wasn't worse and that you're on the mend. Please be safe!!

Burned like hell, and I still have the scar to this day. There was nothing to stitch up since it just ground away the skin.

When I sanded my log home I used a speed control angle grinder, same as a polisher, ran it at around 3000rpm. It helped with that kick back big time but, still caught an edge between the full scribe logs and that puppy flew out of my hands and landed quite a distance from me. I also used a backing pad with the resin sanding disks, they cost a bit less and are much thinner in cross section so there was less surface to catch an edge on. I used the same type you are using and the change to the ones I mentioned did help. Glad you were ok from that.

So glad you're OK. Being able to relate to such things, I jumped when I watched it. We have all made that call at one time or another, 'I just have a little more to do...I'll be fine.' With me, it was working late on a table saw. Lost 1/2 of a finger tip. It happens, we learn. Thanks for putting it in your video. It's good to be reminded of the POWER, in a power tool.

Happy to know that your injury was minor and by now well healed. At first I thought I was watching a repeat of a near disaster that happened in a machine shop 50 years ago. It was a blistering hot summer day, the sun was baking everything and a high school student, working for the summer, was handling a grinder cleaning flame cut edges. His shirt was unbuttoned, and shirttails were out of his pants. As he bent over the work he rocked left with the grinder his shirttail rocked right, was caught by the grinding wheel and it wound his shirt around the spindle right up to his throat. Fortunately the grinder was ripped out of his hands and shut off. He got away with a scratch, but it was by his carotid artery. Unlike you, he didn't know better before the incident but he does now. I'm sure he remembers it as clearly as I do. Thanks for sharing - I hope that, and this, helps someone avoid injury.

years ago when I actually "worked" for a living, I had a grinder bite in the steel bevel and jump out and luckily hit flush on my thigh leaving a scar to this day. If it had hit on a perpendicular angle it would have cut into my thigh with a much worse outcome. At the time I was more upset that it cut a hole in my brand new work pants than I was over the scrape on my leg. Thankfully you weren't injured much worse being out there on your own.

I never understood why when I watch Americans use an angle grinder they almost never have the protective cover on it (is it not supplied with the tool?) and also most of the time they don't use the handle bar ... That gives you much more control over the tool. And yes I know that it can limit the spots that you can reach but it is much safer. Furthermore always have a body position that enables you to stay safe away of the disk in case something unexpected happens (could shatter or kick back). Good you are ok but when you continued the work you didn't use all of the mentioned ... without the cover and sitting on your knees it's still not a safe way to use a heavy angle grinder IMO. Keep safe and like the videos

North* Americans. It's important to note the north part -- there's two American continents, 3 countries on the northern continent, and two of those countries' proper names begin with "United States of"... That's why those of us from the United States of America (rather than the United States of Mexico) are the ones usually referred to as Americans. Just FYI. 🙂

You may well have prevented me from suffering my own accident. I thank you for this.

I am a provider for my family too. I took out insurance on myself in case something happens to me so my family would have a big cash payout if I passed away. Because I applied for the insurance when young and healthy, it was quite cheap (just over $20/month). Something to consider, if their welfare is what ran through your mind when you were injured.

I am new to the channel and I'm just now seeing this. I'm very happy that you were not hurt worse than you were and that you seem to be doing OK now. If you didn't know before, by now you have learned that any spinning grinders are among the most dangerous tools in the shop. A former co-worker of my father was using a bench grinder with a wheel with no guard and that was badly in need of dressing. He didn't take care of the problem, and the wheel exploded and threw a large hunk of the rock into his abdomen. He never made that mistake again, nor did he ever see his family again or even take another breath. Consider yourself very lucky.

When I’m in my shop and using the table saw, router table, chop saw, bandsaw I always stop before starting the machine and I ask myself “ Do I feel safe doing this” which gives me the time to look over what I’m about to do. Not only should you measure twice but also check for your safety twice, if you hurry that’s when mistakes happen either to you or your project.
