I know a guy that made the statement to me, after I told him they were dangerous.."Dude, the blades are just plastic, its not like they are dangerous"
I personally dont use them, dont like them, Ive seen far too many come in with 1 totally missing, customers saying they arent sure where it went, but they want the thing replaced with a steel blade and guard.
My argument is that the plastic blade has considerable mass, and is spinning at speeds approaching 10K rpms, Meaning it weighs alot more than it does just sitting on a table. I beleive that if a cutter broke off and hit a bystander 50 feet away, it could do them considerable harm.
Agree or disagree?
