I used to way back when. Another fragged wheel cured me. Nothing happened but the shrapnel of it flying around the room gave me religion.

When I cut myself, I was extremely lucky my hand took the hit as it would have made a nice cut in my abdomen. I already have enough Doctor caused scars there. Didn’t need another ;)

It’s incredible what 10,000 RPM is capable of when it’s not doing what it’s supposed to be doing.

I’ve had both the good Makita/DeWalt wheels come apart as well as the cheap Chinese ones. It’s not that I bound them up or bounced them either. But since my metalworking days are over, I am just glad to get done with all digits relatively intact.

So have you actually tried cutting a steak with a Makita?

It would probably work well, but if everyone at the table had one, it could get kinda noisy...not to mention the spray.

I’ve had some in my time that would have made good soles, and required heroic measures, but now I’m kinda partial to rib-eye and porterhouse.

But then again, we’re talking about British fare.
