Extra securing an angle grinder

[dom14]

I think you just need to man up and use common sense when grinding. Or don't use one at all. If you're worried about getting hurt when using it you're not thinking about the task at hand, then the likelihood of getting hurt increases because your mind is not on the job at hand

Thanx for your comment mate, and you're right but you also have enough experience to tell me whether one of my key questions has any point to it, which is quoted below.

"Why don't the smaller ones like 100mm have a switch like the 230mm one where you have to hold onto the switch for the thing to turn and can't lock it on the on position?!!"
Or can lock into position, but as an additional choice.

I do get it. Thinking about having 'braking system on a small 100mm grinder is probably bit over the top safety thinking. , but don't you think it makes more sense for 100mm ones to have a switch like the 230mm ones. I think it helps the damn thing slowing down while it accidentally grinds you 'cos you automatically let go the hold of the switch(I presume as a natural reaction).

After the accident, I'm more comfortable with the damn big 230mm than the small 100mm one, which is of course in my head, but that the way it is for now.

You'are also right about attention. Angle grinder demands total attention. It's not a good tool for day dreamers(which I am sometime).
It's better to practice the imagination game of the mind without an angle grinder or a circular saw in my hand.

But, are you guys also aware it is NO rocket science to integrate a simple braking mechanism to bigger ones like 230mm? I reckon they haven't done that 'cos there can be concerns about the wheel stopping too quickly when the switch is released, depending on the grinding job(particularly the cutting disc jobs). Chainsaws already have that braking mechanism and a damn good idea considering the job they do, but the circular saw doesn't. All for reasons I reckon. I'm just bit late at picking up I reckon.
