    I wear my welding gloves with cut off discs too you can never be to safe... I use them almost daily at work and they do explode from time to time. Welding gloves can take a punch from them.

    I had 5 stitches in my hand and 3 in my arm a few years ago it also threw a chunk right through the side of my shirt due to a dewalt disc exploding literally the Instant I touched metal. Just a bad disc. The discs at work are high quality but I’m still cautious especially on big install jobs where we use a ton of discs.

    The grinder felt like it vibrated a little more than normal but I did t think much of it until after the disc separated.

    I'm over it. It's baseball season, for Christ's sake

    I hear that! Are you near Pete? He hasn't mentioned this or at least I am not aware of it.. He did say he was painting inside so maybe he has snow too?

    Hope the furnace isn't running when the paint goes on. Don't want an explosion from the fumes igniting.

    No it’s off now. Fumes are too strong for a furnace. Doors are cracked and it’s icing terribly already. I suspect we are in for a big ice storm again this year...
