Angle grinders...

@ Growler I've been out of the work environment for twenty years.
I would think the wrap around clear visor is the correct protection.
Seema goggles fog up too easy

@ lucas it must have made a terrible racket

I work in an aluminum ship building factory.
We use grinders all day every day to cut aluminum and in my 7 years ive never had a single disk shatter.
Maybe we have a different type of disk but they look like a normal one to me.
Can take a picture of them on monday if you like?

Also we are one of the only places that still use millers.
Quite a scary tool imo. Its like a 5" circular saw blade in a grider with the lock buttom removed to be push and hold.
But they cut through 12mm ali plate like it butter!

Never had a 9"grinder kick back yet, 4" yes but usually from grinding/ cutting something at a awkward angle or pushing to hard though I only cut concrete with my 9"

HAhahahhahahahaha that's why I got away from resi :)

Lol were never on site with any other trades and mostly doing renovations also

Thank God for all this OH&S there would be a lot more kids without fathers if not for it.
Thinking back on some of the things we were made to do or sacked and some we did just to finish the job
makes me shiver. No way breathing would I do or even attempt to do now, working a lot out bush made you able to come up with heaps
of alternatives, and never waste a thing.
