Hope your leg gets better soon matey.. Yeah i'll be careful in the future, was using a grinder yesterday, cutting rust out of chassis. Started to get frustrated at length of time it was taking to do the job....so pushed grinder harder :shock: ....thats when i nearly lost it, the thing caught and jumped back at me :shock:
I'll show it the respect it deserves in future and take it easy :wink:
yer auld aunt nelly:
Comiserations on the lacerserations bud,Ive always had respect for cutters since i saw a 9"incher run up the inside of someones leg,stoping just sort of the "important"bits :shock: But i learnt the lesson of not to leave a grinder locked on.And have plenty of room to work

Hope you heal up quickly.
Never seen a bad accident with one (seen a couple of lucky misses) but I must have an active imagination when it comes to things that cause pain... so I've always been scared of 'em. I use em only when absolutely necessary (I always try to convince Bob its his job) and then if I have to its with extreme caution.

I wonder if there's a direct relationship between the relative cheapness of power tools these days (e.g. you can buy an angle grinder for under a tenner) and the numbers of DIY accident hospital addmissions. Years ago power tools were quite expensive - my first Black & Decker drill cost me £60 I recall- todays Chinese equivalent is less than £10. My feeling is there are an awful lot of dangerous tools out there in the hands of inexperienced folk.
The tool I've got that scares me most is my electric planner- that would expose bone for sure in under a second.
My uncle had a pretty grim experince with a router. He was doing some detail on a rocking horse when the router jumped up and struck him in the face. The bit got halfway through his jaw before it stopped- ughhhh!
