No gloves, glasses+shield, or earplugs…don’t do this folks. Those zip wheels can break and embed themselves in your face. Happens all the time.

I was a locksmith for many years and that's why you do not remove the protective shield from the angle grinder! Even if it's inconvenient.
Angle grinders, even the small ones, are powerfull tools
I remember my "coworkers" sometimes played a stupid prank on someone by unplugging the small angle grinder while one was working with it. When you forgot to shut it off, still holding it in your hand, searching for the reason the angle grinder stopped working, you had a nice surprise when they plugged it back in.
I still have the scar on the right side of my belly when the angle grinder suddently started running again and cut through my work jacket, t-shirt, work trousers and skin, because I didn't shut it off and held it to my side.Those zip wheels can break and embed themselves in your face.
This never happened in the work shops I worked at. Maybe my bosses never bought the cheapest quality. We also never had face shields, but the protective shields on the angle grinders. In Germany, when a shop removes protective gear from power tools and an accident happens... Five minutes later that shop has the workers compensation board so far up their ass the boss could taste his own shit for weeks!

Yeah, as someone who just an hour ago used a grinder with a diamond wheel (like this one), I don’t see the problem. I’m sure he’s using his safety squints.

Don't use gloves with a rotating tool, ever! Had a coworker lose some fingers using gloves with a grinder.

u/TheSimpleMind Nov 15 '22
On a lathe I fully understand.
I worked as a locksmith for many years and I always worked with angle grinders or on stand drills with gloves on. But you can't forget to keep your fingers away from the rotating part.

Is a knife a saw? A sword? An axe? A pair of scissors?

Nov 15 '22
They can all be saws if you saw with them, yes. So your argument is that the blade makes it not a saw? If you put a skilsaw blade on a grinder, would it be a saw?

u/yaboi4619 Nov 15 '22
That's not my argument at all. My point is that just because something is being used to cut doesn't mean it's a saw.
-7
Nov 15 '22
What the tool does determines what the tool is, not the name it was given. A drywall knife isn't a knife.
11
u/yaboi4619 Nov 15 '22
If that were true there would be no way to distinguish anything. By that logic everything is a hammer. If someone asks you to borrow a saw and you handed them a butter knife they would look at you like you're an idiot. You need to learn the difference between a verb and a noun.

u/TheSimpleMind Nov 15 '22
It's an angle grinder with a cutting disc. Not a circle saw.
A saw has teeth for "cutting" materials, this tool "grinds" material away with a continous coarse edge.
-2
Nov 15 '22
So if I put a 4" circular saw blade on it, would it be a saw?

u/TheSimpleMind Nov 15 '22
No, still an angle grinder, but with a 4" circular saw blade on it.

What do you mean he rests the saw on his finger until a ring of blood forms on the edge of the disc
Edit: OK looked closer the blood is just hot metal but that sure looks like contact to me

He's slightly rotating the angle grinder towards the camera as the video progresses so it only looks like it's slowly getting closer to the wheel. Still dangerous AF.

Omg the red from his blood holy shit. Just right into his hand.

u/yolk3d Nov 16 '22
I dont think it's blood. I think the angle being changed as the video goes on, makes it look like its getting closer to his skin. It starts glowing red before the hand even looks like its touching.

u/weenieforsale Nov 16 '22
I've accidentally got myself with a grinder many times. If your hands are very callused you don't always immediately feel it... Though I would have felt this before this guy did haha.
The cuts are weird, because it digs a little valley that doesn't bleed much because it burns the skin too. It hurts for about a day, but not too much after that. However it takes weeks to heal.

Honestly, today I grabbed a sharp piece of metal that gouged out a small piece of skin on my finger. Not only did I barely feel it, I didn't bleed either, and just carried on working. After working for a while your fingers just become like leather.

Sparks from a grinder don't really bother your hands. You can't really feel them beyond very slight discomfort.

I don't think it was? It was definitely close but it wasn't taking skin. Close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.

u/Kindly_Region Nov 15 '22
The blade was turning red........

u/Peaurxnanski Nov 15 '22
It's the sparks. The blade isn't red, it's just carrying the sparks around with it until they fly off, which again are largely painless.
Those abrasive blades don't get red hot.

to be fair i can’t tell if there’s blood or not but it definitely looks like his finger indented as if it was touching it in the end

The red is friction heat, not blood. Blood almost instantly turns black from the heat and does not glow.

u/TheSimpleMind Nov 15 '22 edited Nov 15 '22
I was a locksmith for many years, so, like you, I have a bit of an insight. He's cutting thin steel sheet metal. If you cut thick materials that do not cool down as fast as thin sheet metal, after a while the grinded off material that gets to your skin can heat up your skin. Like you, I had developed some "protective" callus and heat resistance on my fingers and therefore I didn't feel it as much as some dude useing an angle grinder every once in a while. Nowadays, over twenty years later, that callus is gone and so is the "heat resistance".
PS: I never said you're talking out of your ass.
